Curmudgeons Day

Everyone knows at least one grumbler who can spoil the mood for the rest of the day. They try to deal with them less often and never argue. Such people are not liked, and many do not assume the existence of a day dedicated to them. Curmudgeons Day is not a silly and useless holiday but carries a rather interesting meaning.

History

The date of celebration, January 29, was not chosen by chance. On this day, the famous American actor and comedian W.C. Fields was born. He made a huge contribution to art, also being a writer at the same time. In the movies, William in most cases portrayed grumpy and dissatisfied misers with life. Cult characters who adhered to antisocial positions brought him great fame.

Fields was an excellent juggler, whose talents even Queen Victoria herself wanted to see. He can boast of the love of the audience, which has not dried up so far. The artist died at the age of sixty-six.

Interesting Facts

1. For the first time, an unofficial celebration took place in 2014. The tradition has been preserved, and over the years it has begun to attract more and more people.
2. The image of Fields’ heroes was partially written off from himself. He was distinguished by a grumpy character, was often dissatisfied with life, and complained to others about problems with alcohol.
3. Like all misers, William hated Christmas. He died on January 29, 1946.
4. Grumps really deserve respect. They stubbornly stick to their own positions and refuse to follow general rules. The misers are ready to condemn the whole world but remain true to themselves. They have a lot to teach, the main thing is not to overdo it.

How to Celebrate

It is worth honoring the memory of the person in whose honor the holiday appeared. Watch films with W.C. Fields. The most famous are “Up” and “Grumpy Old Men.”

If there are misers in your environment, then try to cheer them up. It is almost impossible to do this, so you have to work hard. A kind attitude and a cute gift can melt the heart of any grumbler.

Some will prefer to take the place of grumblers themselves, spending most of the day at home, and constantly complaining about what is happening around them during a walk.
