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)
Obviously: 春节 /s
Arbor Day! Trees ftw!
None, you should appreciate people in your life on a daily basis and not because some holiday tells you to do so.
Whilst I don’t want to argue about whether the appreciation of people in your life should be encouraged by a celebration day, I would like to point out that holidays aren’t specific to appreciating people . They can also be for appreciating things , such as natural phenomenon.
Personally I’d prefer winter and summer type celebrations on the equinox and solstice than Christmas and a seemingly random (in my country) public holiday at a point in the summer where it isn’t that warm anymore.
“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
Everybody should get carnival.
Earthday. Not just on its own merits (which are substantial) but because there is a general lack of US federal holidays on that side of the calendar.
Pride month. It should be a federal holiday.
My birthday. Send me gifts, everyone.
In my custom, it’s the birthday person to gives other gifts on their birthday. Send ME gift, you.

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?
Hahaha awesome :D
This is relevant here in Chicago. Probably because it’s the city with the second largest Polish population outside of Warsaw. Also paczki are pretty tasty.
Not the Father’s Day?
International Talk Like a Pirate Day, the Pastafarian religious holiday celebrated on September 19.
Fête Nationale / St Jean-Baptiste
There are over 2 million Franco Americans in New England alone. And yet, I seem to be one of the few who remembers our history, nevermind our language. This is not an indictment, we’ve had to adapt to survive and avoid persecution.
But still we’re allowed to be proud, we’re allowed to be seen, and I’d love to live long enough to see our diaspora celebrate our roots and our present on both sides of the border
Et bien sûr, vive le Québec libre
