Did you know that June is jam-packed full of holidays? I mean come on, everyone knows about Father's Day, graduations, and the gazillion wedding anniversaries, but did you know about these:
June 5 - Festival Of Popular Delusions Day (wouldn't it be better to call this "The Moon is Made of Green Cheese Day"?)
June 6 - National Applesauce Cake Day (could do worse)
June 7 - National Chocolate Ice Cream Day (getting even better now)
June 8 - Name Your Poison Day (uh oh, I hope this isn't a result of the previous two holidays)
June 9 - Donald Duck Day (now this could be fun)
June 10 - National Yo-Yo Day
June 11 - National Hug Holiday (we used to have a group here that ran around hugging people, I wonder what happened to them)
June 12 - Machine Day (are we talking coffee machines, copy machines, flying machines? How can we celebrate with such a wide mandate?)
June 13 - National Juggling Day and Kitchen Klutzes Of America Day (I sincerely hope no one is celebrating these two simultaneously)
June 14 - Pop Goes The Weasel Day (can you imagine the chaos this could cause?)
June 15 - Smile Power Day (is this replacing fossil fuels?)
June 16 - National Hollerin' Contest Day (remind me to take an excedrin that morning)
And last but not least...
June 17 - Eat Your Vegetables Day (really? they have a holiday for that?)
Hallmark is missing some great opportunities here, don't you think?
Visit the Thursday Thirteen hub to see what everyone else is counting this week.
I had no idea there were so many!!! We should get them all off....with pay! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!!! My list is up here:
My Life In The Urban Zoo
Are there Hallmark cards for all those days?
ReplyDeleteI love this list...wow...it's fabulous....I'm sticking with the chocolate icecream one myself....
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm totally sniggering... my sisters birthdays are all in June - National Hog day? Yep! lol! This is very fun. I hope life is treating you really well and crisis are easing.
ReplyDelete((hug)) and blessings.

I had absolutely no idea.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
5 and 13 are on my dance card now! This was a fun list. I wish I had my applesauce for tomorrow. There's always next year!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I can celebrate vegetable eating...are we going to have a celebration for hollering? When's Daffy Duck Day?
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Thats a lot. Over here except for Father's Day, Independence Day and Rizal Day the rest is back to school day.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh what WEIRD holidays! I love the 5th, 9th and 11th. Awesome stuff! Thanks for a few laughs :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
Count me in on the chocolate ice cream. That ought to be at least a weekly celebration.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT, mine will be up first thing in the morning.
What a fun list. Chocolate IceCream Day? Isn't that everyday? lol Happy T13!
ReplyDeletei'm all over eat-your-veggies day. count me in! great post:-)
ReplyDeleteI am thinking my favorite is Chocolate ice cream day!
ReplyDeleteI love the 15th
ReplyDeleteI like the one for Popular Delusions. I could get into that.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a list. I'm glad I'm a fruit, so that I won't get eaten on "Eat your Vegetables day." But you better believe my friends will be hiding out.
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
I'm thinking National Chocolate Ice Cream Day should be celebrated during the entire month. :-)
ReplyDeleteI wish every one of these are actual holidays!
ReplyDeletehmmmm today is Popular Delusions Day, and mine were just shattered. The 'good parent' delusion. According to my daughter...
ReplyDeleteBetter go and buy some applesauce for tomorrow.
How fun! I love to celebrate just about anything ... and TODAY's is a delightful one I'll carry with me ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
WHAT? You were cheering for the Wings and you call yourself my friend?
ReplyDeleteThe horror. The horror.
There should be a National Penguin Traitor Day, just for you.
Seriously... I'll take you up on chocolate ice cream day.
Let me get this straight. Today is the Festival of POPULAR Delusions Day? Popular? As opposed to the unpopular delusions? Do I dare ask examples from each category? I'd do some research but upon learning that tomorrow is National Applesauce Cake Day, I've got much to do. It got here much quicker this year than I expected and I'm so unprepared.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna have to remember the national chocolate ice cream day. Love it.
ReplyDeleteFun list! I like national chocolate ice cream day. To be patriotic, I'll oblige. ;)
ReplyDeleteI say you should make some cards for these special days & submit them to Hallmark. lol
Wow! So many ways to have fun. I think I'll back some Applesauce Muffins for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my TT!
Where is this Festival of Popular Delusions? That sounds like just my kind of party!
ReplyDeleteI'm all geared up for National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. That's my kind of holiday. Heck, that might even replace Halloween as my favorite!
HA! Great list! Where did you find these??
ReplyDeleteEat your vegetables day is my birthday. How much does that suck? Great list, happy TT
ReplyDeleteThose are some really fascinating ones Robin.
ReplyDeleteWOW! There's a chocolate icecream day!
I'm partial to the smile and hug days!
Happy TT!
Chocolate Ice Cream day is one to put on the calender!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd my sons Birthday next week. Man, where does the time go. Just 19 years ago he was born. Darn he is getting old...not me!
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't realize there was so much to do and acknowledge this month. You're right, Hallmark is failing us.
ReplyDeletep.s You have a beautiful kitchen!
So incredibly random that people come up with holidays for these things.
ReplyDeleteWow, the pop goes the weasle one is funny!
ReplyDeleteCan't you change it into "International" holidays ? so I could participate too, lol !
