Ridiculous and Funny

In case you need a break from reality and all the interesting things going on in the world, this may be what you need.  On January 1, 2022, British writer Dan Brotzel, decided to do something no one else in the world has ever done. He decided to celebrate a holiday every single day of the year.  It wasn't just one holiday, (which probably also hasn't been done), but he was going to celebrate a different holiday every single day of the year.


Above is a picture of Dan signing up for the London Marathon on Paget's Disease Day. He found out that there are thousands of holidays during the year and you can make your own one up if you want to. New holidays have increased tremendously due to social media.  Dan said his plan was, "A ridiculous idea with no obvious point, but I was in." 

He had a lot of fun, met a lot of interesting people and learned a lot while he also donated some time and money to good causes. He did 1,000 squats for Marie Curie Day and wore a gorilla suit to work for Wear a Gorilla Suit Day.  He has an audio book called "Awareness Daze" that is eleven hours long about his year of adventure.

In case you are interested in celebrating any of these days, here is a short list of ones that he mentions:
