The 12 Strangest Unofficial Holidays

The 12 Strangest Unofficial Holidays

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]National Holiday Graphic

You’ve probably heard of some low key national holidays, like “National Ice Cream Day” or “National Talk Like A Pirate Day.” But did you know that every day of the year has been dedicated to multiple “National Something Days.” We took a look at the comprehensive list (found here) and there are some interesting ones. Here are the strangest and funniest holidays from each month.

1. National Thank God It’s Monday Day (First Monday in January)

Said no one ever. Why is this a thing?

2. National Shower With a Friend Day (February 5th)

Because who doesn’t need more awkwardness in their life?

3. National Everything You Do Is Right Day (March 16th)

Or, in other words, “All crime is now legal.”

4. National Reach As High As You Can Day (April 14th)

You know who’s really reaching? Whoever made up this stupid day.

5. National Be A Millionaire Day (May 20th)

Oh… okay. I didn’t know it was so easy.

6. National Daylight Appreciation Day (June 21st)

The sun goes up, the sun goes down. You can’t explain that. But you darn better appreciate it.

7. National Nude Day (July 14th)

The same day also happens to be National Tape Measure Day. Connection? Only if you want.

8. National Minority Donor Awareness Day (August 1st)

Hey minorities! We’re aware of you. Now give us your organs.

9. National Attend Your Grandchild’s Birth Day (September 29th)

Well, I wasn’t going to, but since there’s a holiday…

10. National Greasy Food Day (October 25)

We live in America. I don’t think a special day for greasy food is necessary.

11. National Pizza With the Works Except Anchovies Day (November 12)

Seriously, **** anchovies.

12. Bathtub Party Day (December 5th)

Bathing = good. Parties = good. Why NOT put them together?
