What new holiday would you invent?

Valentine’s Day is a reminder that there can be holidays about anything.

I ran across a blog post about inventing holidays.

If you could create a holiday, what would it be?

I’m thinking maybe change positions with your boss, spouse, family member, or pet day. I wouldn’t mind being a cat for a day. Feed me! :cat: (I don’t have a cat though)

Being that we here in the UK are in the throws of shaking the EU from our way of life, I’d like to have a national Brexit Day where the Union Jack is saluted before many street parties ensue.

Is that a good idea when almost half the population were against Brexit? Besides, I think we should leave the revering of flags to the Americans, we have already allowed enough of their culture to find its way into ours. Flags are for sticking on sandcastles. :us: :uk: :de: :fr: :bouvet_island: :botswana: :belarus: :belize: :cocos_islands: :congo_kinshasa: :central_african_republic: :congo_brazzaville: :switzerland: :cote_divoire: :curacao: :ecuador: :faroe_islands: :gabon: :018:

‘Cos that wouldn’t be divisive at all, would it? :rofl:

There’s be a few punch ups, mostly from me! There are so may ways to sabotage a street party …… :rofl:

And then my holiday would be a “We Miss EU” day where we fly the EU flag, sing Ode to Joy, eat French cheese, enjoy everything European and burn effigies of Nigel Farage and point the finger of shame at his supporters while we plan on how we’ll Rejoin!

That wouldn’t be any more divisive than a Brexit Day!

But despite Harbal wanting to stick mine on a sandcastle and white man van love, I do like to see the England flag flying

How about we celebrate St George’s Day?

My choice would be National Animal Day, to acknowledge the incredible sacrifice and work that animals have given for us - food, wars, building, farming, transportation.

It would sure be nice if we had a special day to treat our animals and be mindful of all they have given us.

Why don’t we make it more authentic and burn the original? :102:

I think it is more that we have taken, rather than they have given, but I get your point.

Tax Freedom Day gets posted on twitter. One of the politicians I follow wanted to make Tax day a Federal holiday - a day that people would take the day off to file their taxes and celebrate getting them done, I guess.

I was thinking about a ruler for the day holiday where I’m the ruler. But nah. Too much work.
