Thursday Thirteen - Strange Holidays

Thursday Thirteen

Did you know that each day is a holiday? For my Thursday Thirteen I thought that I would list 13 bizarre holidays.

1. Today January 25th is a room of one’s own day. ( You heard me. Get out of here. Just joking! Get back here!)

2. Yesterday January 24th was National Compliment Day - (For all those who missed it, please compliment me now.)

3. February 7th - Wave All Your Fingers at Your Neighbor Day ( No it did not say just one finger.)

4. March 20th- National Snowman Burning Day - (Poor Frosty)

5. April 12th- Look up at the Sky Day - (There will be lots of people walking around with stiff necks on this day.)

6. May 11th - Eat What You Want Day ( Don’t I do that every day? )

7. June 21st- Cuckoo Warning Day ( I know a few cuckoo’s and trust me a couple of them really flew over the cuckoo’s nest. I think they may have even landed in it.)

8. July 6th- National Kissing Day ( Just what my daughter needs, an excuse to suck face.)

9. August 28th - Crackers Over The Keyboard Day (Do any of you have any idea how hard it is to get cracker crumbs out of your keeyboard?)

10. September 5th - Be Late for Something Day ( This is the day you don’t set your alarm clock.)

11. October 19th- National Evaluate Your Life Day ( For some this should be a weekly event.)

12. November 3rd - Sandwich Day ( I’ll have a ham and cheese.)

13. December 20th - Mudd Day (I think I’ll pass on the mud bath.)

I hope you have enjoyed my list of weird and bizarre holidays.

Cheryl // Jan 25, 2007 at 1:30 am

I could use more eat what you want days! Sounds so good to me!
Kai // Jan 25, 2007 at 2:37 am

Awesome list! A great read!

But I tell ya, if we still have snow on March 20th I will be doing more than just burning that snowman
JHS // Jan 25, 2007 at 3:25 am

I’m impressed that you found all of those!

I already have cracker crumbs in my keyboard, not to mention the rice cake crumbs. I’ve given up on ever getting them out. For the longest time my — key wouldn’t work because I got grape jelly stuck under it. But then it worked itself free again, eventually.

Stop by and say “hello”!

Haha - great fun. I agree, eat what you want day happens about seven days a week! Happy TT:)
erika // Jan 25, 2007 at 7:38 am

mmm sandwich day!

Nice 13!

At least they aren’t federal holidays. Although that would be an excellent excuse for a late payment. “But the last 200 days have been federal holidays! I didn’t even get my statement!”
Chris // Jan 25, 2007 at 8:23 am

Who comes up with these things?

Good list! (Compliment enough?)
Alexis // Jan 25, 2007 at 8:26 am

I looked up my birthday once. It was national Pink Day. These crack me up.
karmicjay // Jan 25, 2007 at 8:50 am

I like your list! I have a few neighbors to wave one finger at for #3:) And what’s up with #4:shock:? Is that even possible? I guess people will celebrate anything. Thanks for sharing

I know about National Talk Like A Pirate Day, September 19th, because it’s also my birthday!
baggage // Jan 25, 2007 at 12:44 pm

Hey! September 5th is my birthday! How fun.
Michael - Lover of Amy // Jan 25, 2007 at 12:51 pm

Garr! Someone beat me to National Talk Like a Pirate Day!
MarillaAnne // Jan 25, 2007 at 1:35 pm

one of my faves is the third Sat of Oct. Sweetest Day.

My t13 covers my fave Firefox Add-ons … geeky … that’s me.

have fun
Caryle // Jan 25, 2007 at 1:40 pm

I love that they felt complelled to clarify that it was all of the fingers.

I’m celebrating Towel Day this year in honor of Douglas Adams, the author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It should be fun.

Thanks for dropping by my list today!

How do you light a snowman?
Marcia // Jan 25, 2007 at 3:31 pm

Well, since I am supposed to be putting my personal office together and today is “a room of my own”, better stop blogging and start working. . . guess I get to your tag later today, now.

As for yesterday — you have a knack of coming up with interesting info.
my 2 cents // Jan 25, 2007 at 3:48 pm

Lots of crazy holidays! The Be Late For Something Day? Those are funny
nick // Jan 25, 2007 at 4:11 pm

OOOHHH, I can’t wait for July 6th, I am going to tell my wife right now March 20th sounds like fun too though!
Bug // Jan 25, 2007 at 4:19 pm

Barb // Jan 25, 2007 at 4:23 pm

Cool and interesting list, Rose
Top cat // Jan 25, 2007 at 5:48 pm

Great list Rose.
I’ve always thought Florists and Hallmark are responsible for the creation of many of the holidays.
It’s nice to see someone get creative with some with non traditional days.

I’m emailing you btw.
Barbara // Jan 25, 2007 at 7:26 pm

Em // Jan 25, 2007 at 8:02 pm

Barb // Jan 25, 2007 at 8:27 pm

Michelle // Jan 26, 2007 at 12:21 am

Makes you wonder how these got “on the books”. I’ve heard about National Talk Like a Pirate Day which is definitely odd.
amy // Jan 26, 2007 at 10:36 am

I was going to mention talk like a pirate day but hubby (michael-lover of amy) beat me…bummer
David // Jan 26, 2007 at 10:59 am

proverbs31 // Jan 26, 2007 at 6:29 pm

LOL! Thanks!

I think it is hilarious that my birthday is “Be Late for Something” Day! I’m late for everything!
Ryan // Jan 26, 2007 at 10:51 pm
