Make Up Your Own Holiday Day takes place every March 26, now it’s your turn: Make Your Own Holiday Day allows you to make today a special holiday for anything you want.

Holidays are designated as having special significance for which individuals, a government, or a religious group have deemed that observance is warranted. Unofficial holidays are holidays that are not traditionally marked on calendars. These holidays are celebrated by various groups and individuals. Some promote a cause, others recognize historical events not officially recognized, and others are “funny” holidays celebrated with humorous intent. Make Up Your Own Holiday Day isn’t quite like other holidays. It’s not about celebrating something specific; it’s more about you celebrating yourself and your family by creating a tradition specific to your tastes and interests. Or, at least, that was the intended purpose for the holiday according to its originators, Thomas and Ruth Roy, owners of Well Cat Holidays. Creators of over 80 copyrighted holidays, The Roys thought a day where people could decide what they wanted to celebrate would be the perfect addition to their extensive catalog of traditions. On Make Up Your Own Holiday Day, you can celebrate whatever you’d like, whether your made-up day is as simple as “Read a Book By the Fire” Day or something silly, like “Hold a Conversation with your Pets” day. Since Make Up Your Own Holiday Day is about celebrating things that are important to you, the first thing to do is list what those things are. From there, you commemorate your eccentricities in your own special manner, which could mean taking a day for yourself or gathering family and friends for time to bond.
