There are normal holidays, the ones we all love, like Christmas and Halloween: Easter and Saint Patrick's Day. But when you look up the different kinds of holidays and see Joe Day ⦠it might not be as helpful. Today this article will talk about weird holidays around the world, and just how ridiculous they are.
Holidays!
Bet you didnāt know there are 365 unofficial holidays, one for every day of the year. No doubt you have heard of National Popcorn Day, (January 19.) I think the movie theater operators invented that one, National Baby Boomers Recognition Day (August 17 Hurrah!), and National Eat Beans Day, which ought to be an official holiday. Maybe they could place National Garlic Eating Day next, making for a nice long weekend where no one has to be at work.
There are so many fun holidays, like World Sleep Day (Friday before the March Equinox, March 15th, 2024). This day is about having a good rest and raising awareness about important sleep issues. The theme for this World Sleep Day is Sleep Equity for Global Health. Sleep is essential to health, but measurable differences in sleep health persist across populations across the world, creating additional burdens and reinforcing health inequities.
Another one of these wacky holidays is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day aka National Bubble Wrap Day (last Monday in January, January 29th, 2024). celebrate the Pop It of the old days and one of the most relaxing things about opening a package.

December 5th, a holiday beloved to all kids, is Brownie Day. AKA, the worst day in the entire year for parents. Unfortunately, no one knows who invented Brownie Day, the day most likely being made by brownie fans who love them so much that they“re dedicated to making a day about it. A cherished day for all brownie lovers. And kids.
National Humble day.
Our last holiday for today is Humble Day. Many people around the world genuinely celebrate this holiday, in their way, of course. It's a nice holiday, teaching many people to be respectful around the world. So much for wacky holidays! Humble day isn't just wacky, it makes many kids responsible around the world.
So in conclusion, these wacky and fun holidays are amazing to celebrate. The holidays are surely a sight to see, many kids around the world use these holidays against their family members and friends. They“re silly and fun- a wonderful thing for everyone around the world to have an option to participate in. Maybe you“ll start celebrating some of these holidays!
