May day!
National Test Your Backups day. So much time and money lost because people either don’t backup their data or assume they have when they have not. (Ok it’s not a real holiday but it should be)
Pride month. It should be a federal holiday.
Labour Day (but I like the name International Worker’s Day better).
Wednesday. It should always start or end a long weekend. (Of course this would be a paid holiday)
Fat Thursday. Wiki says it’s Christian holiday but in Poland no one really associates it with anything religious, everyone just eats pączki.
Hah, did you see the lizard with that name here?
“Respect for the aged” day in Japan.
in elementary school we had Old-Fashioned Day when everybody brought their grandparents to school and wore short pants and played marbles and panned for gold like the “olden times”. I was super excited to chase a hoop with a stick only to learn that it’s pretty fucking boring.
we would have a special lunch with the grandparents, where we’d give them all handmade cards. and a special assembly with them, in an auditorium, where they could sit down of course.
I fucking love old people I would be so down for this
Día de los Muertos, because of the amazing art at the very least. Plus, who wouldn’t want a second Halloween of sorts? (I know the reasons to celebrate are very different)
Also, Earth Day and Arbor Day, because our trees and planet are awesome.
I would absolutely dig an day of the dead in the States
None, you should appreciate people in your life on a daily basis and not because some holiday tells you to do so.
