Ideas for Make Your Own Holiday Day
It’s your day to celebrate anything!
Because today is Make Your Own Holiday Day.
It’s an unofficial holiday, but what a fun idea. You can make today a special holiday for anything you want. Unofficial holidays can promote a cause, remember historical events, or used to have some simple good fun.
How to Make a Holiday
A “National” holiday takes an act of Congress, and that takes a lot of work. First you will have to contact your local congress person. Then you must create the proposal that you hope will make it into the Congressional agenda. It is a tedious process, but it can be done.
The President can declare a national special day, a Governor can name a state holiday, and Mayors can proclaim city-wide celebrations. Unofficial days can be created by the declaration of a company, organization, or individual. Many of them are one-time events, but occasionally they catch on and show up annually.
