Ever feel disappointed because holidays are a little sparse between New Year’s Day and Presidents Day?
Actually, there are plenty of things to celebrate during this period. In fact, there’s something to celebrate every day of the year.
There may not be too many paid holidays, but a little creative use of a sick day or a vacation day and you can celebrate “Hoodie-Hoo Day” at noon on Feb. 20 (a day dedicated to chasing away the winter by gathering in groups and shouting “hoodie-hoo”).
Sadly you’ve already missed National White Shirt Day, but you’ve still got a chance to celebrate “I Value Your Friendship Day” today. Since it falls on Feb. 13, it also offers a chance to signal that certain someone that a Valentine’s Day gift would be going too far.
By the way, Congress designated the first Sunday in August “Friendship Day” in 1935.
For a pretty complete list of days that people believe merit celebration, go to www.tulane.edu/~wc/months or check out http://123child.com/act/feb.html for monthly and weekly themes: This being the third week of February, it’s Friendship Week, Love Your Pet Week and Pancake Week.
