This guy lists some holidays he made up, like:
4/17 – Learn something new day. It doesn’t matter how big or small but the day must involve learning a new skill. it could be a magic trick, or how to make lasagna. Ask people you know to teach you something they like to do.
and
12/9 – Low technology day. Pick a year from the past and only use technologies that existed in or before that year (1950 would mean B&W TV, but no cable, no internet, no cell phones).
Things like this can be really fun. Maybe we can make up some holidays.
Or, on a different tack, maybe we can better celebrate the holidays we already have. Today is St. Patrick’s Day, but that means nothing to me except that Karianne pinched me this morning until I put on a green shirt. Today Gene Veith writes briefly about the true meaning of St. Patrick’s Day. “St. Patrick’s Day should remind us that even white people first came to Christianity through missionaries.” Right on.
