Declare Your
Day
Make any day or every day a holiday
by Rachelle
Disbennet-Lee, PhD.
I
have learned that anyone can declare any day a holiday or special
day such as National Marshmallow Toasting Day (August 30th) or
Cheese Pizza Day (September 5th). There is a process to follow
to create a holiday or special day but pretty much anything goes.
Now if you want a National Day (as in National Holiday) that takes
an Act of Congress! But, there really is no need to go through
that process. You just need to declare your day and it will be
so.
Now you might
not want to go through the process of making your day official.
But wouldn't it be fun to declare a holiday or special day that
has meaning to you. And you wouldn't have to limit yourself to
one a year. You might declare a special day once a month or even
once a week. Perhaps you could declare all Fridays as "Fun
Friday" or every Tuesday as "Taco Tuesday." It
is totally up to you to declare the day to be whatever you want
it to be.
I have created
several family holidays that just my family celebrates. Our adopted
Yorkish fur child Buddy came to us through a rescue center so
we have no way of knowing when his actual birthday is. We declared
April 2nd (although we actually got Buddy on April 1st I didn't
want his birthday to compete with April Fools Day) as Buddy's
birthday.
I have taken
to declaring days on the spot. Sometimes I feel like having a
"Free Friday" where I don't have any appointments and
I just do whatever I feel like doing. I have declared "special"
days for myself such as "Personal Pampering Day" or
"Comfort Food Day." There simply is no limit to what
you can declare your day to be.
Take to declaring
your own holidays and special days. Why wait for someone else
to decide when you can celebrate and what you are celebrating.
There are no rules or limits as to what you can celebrate or when.
