The tradition of April Fool’s Day goes right back to ancient Rome, but many bizarre holiday days were created more recently. They often start as someone’s bright idea, and then spread quickly around the world on the internet. This is how we ended up with ’No Housework Day’ (April 7); ’Thank a Mailman Day’ (February 4); and ’Blame Somebody Else Day’ (September 13). It’s not really clear how many people actually know about these holidays, let alone celebrate them.
The list of bizarre holiday days is probably longer than you’d imagine. If you’re bored, try looking on the internet and see what you can celebrate to put a little fun in your day. There are many to choose from; National Honesty Day, Look Alike Day, Hug an Australian Day. And that’s just in the month of April.
