National Make Up Your Own Holiday Day

National Make Up Your Own Holiday Day is an American holiday encouraging everyone to create their own holiday. We think it’s a great idea! You can be imaginative and creative. Perhaps your initiative will be appreciated, and the new holiday will become popular all over the world! It is celebrated annually on March 26.

History

The story of the day begins with the Roy brothers. They created many of the holidays we know today. Thomas and Ruth Roy set out to fill in the empty cells on the calendar and began making up their own holidays.

Often they are of a humorous nature, but there are also serious days that make you reconsider your attitudes toward various things. For example, August 29 celebrates “More Herbs, Less Salt” Day, encouraging people to make adjustments to their diets by adding more plant foods and ingredients while reducing salt intake. This ingredient is mandatory in almost all semi-finished products, and as a result, a person receives an increased dose of sodium daily, which can lead to health problems.

It is worth remembering “What If Cats and Dogs Had Opposable Thumbs Day.” Here the Roy Brothers make us think about how life would be different for animals if they had thumbtacks on their paws. There are many holidays, and each person can think of something different. Just try it!

Interesting facts

• The Roy Brothers have created more than 80 different holidays to date.
• In 1958, The Chase Calendar was released and is continually updated. All existing holidays are included.
