Today's Holidays & Observances

GKitty · 01-21-2011, 10:02 AM

Thanks to markem for letting everyone know that yesterday was Penguin Awareness day. It got me to thinking about some of the obscure "holidays" that I celebrate. For example, International Talk Like A Pirate Day. It occurs every year in mid-September, but I often miss out because it falls off my radar. The same goes for Anything Covered in Chocolate Day and a handful of other random yet delightful days set aside to celebrate some of my favorite things.

So here it is... a thread to help us all remember those unknown and often forgotten holidays and observances. Need an "excuse" to light up a stick you've been saving for a "special day"? My hope is that this thread will give us a daily reason to celebrate being on the right side of the dirt.

January 21, 2011
~ Hat Day (Third Friday in January)
~ National Hugging Day
~ Squirrel Appreciation Day

How will you celebrate?

Only on Squirrel Appreciation Day could a nut like you be born.

Absolutely, Pete!!

Personally, I'm excited to have a reason to wear my new hat. It'll keep me warm while I chase the furry lil bastages down and give them their hugs.

htown · 01-21-2011, 10:15 AM

I think I will go out and hug a squirrel that is wearing a hat.

Chingas · 01-21-2011, 10:19 AM

Can it be considered appreciation if I relocate a few squirrels far far far away. Like a vaca.

Of course!! Squirrels love to vacation.

Emjaysmash · 01-21-2011, 10:45 AM

I think I'll go around hugging squirrels in a hat today.

neoflex · 01-21-2011, 10:51 AM

How about making a squirrel into a hat so you can really appreciate both?

GKitty · 01-21-2011, 01:07 PM

It has just been brought to my attention that today is also Cheese Appreciation Day. As if hats, squirrels, and hugs weren't mayhem enough, throw in a wheel of Brie or a slice of Cheddar to further bring joy to your heart.

I was a slacker over the weekend, so I missed National Blonde Brownie Day and National Measure Your Feet Day.

Today's holiday is:
Compliment Day!

Tell your boss you like their tie. Tell your significant other they're smelling particularly pleasant. Tell your mail carrier you liked the way they handled that snarky terrier 3 houses down. Get out there, my lovely sisters and brothers of the leaf, and spread it on thick.

Oh and before I forget to tell you....

JaKaacH · 01-24-2011, 12:54 PM

I appreciate Squirrel's,

With dumplings,

yum.

Feb 14th should just become "buy me flowers, jewelry, and candy day". March 14th just gets straight to the point.
