January 10th Peculiar People Day

January holidays

So how many people do you know that you would consider peculiar? Do you consider yourself peculiar? Exactly what is peculiar? These are all question we should ask before we pass our own judgement against others that we consider odd or different. Maybe they consider us odd or different! Do we consider ourselves odd or peculiar? If you are different.. take pride in what makes you different than someone else, provided that isn’t something that will harm others. There’s nothing bad about marching to a different drummer so long as that drummer isn’t taking you somewhere you really don’t want to go.

How to celebrate – Take pride in being peculiar. Think of all the things you do differently than others. Find something good in everyone.

October 9 Curious Events Day

October Holidays

We all have different things we just can’t put our thumb on that we become curious about. Sometimes those curious events border on neurotic. And since they are events they are things that have come about on particular dates, or concerning particular surroundings. And whether they are curious to everyone or just a few really doesn’t matter, so long as they are curious to you. Which is, in a way, a curious event as well.

How to celebrate – Look into things that are interesting and a bit confusing to you. Remember, curiosity killed the cat. Nearly all creatures on earth are curious at one time or another.

January 25th Opposite Day

January holidays

One thing for sure about today, it isn’t ever going to be what we think it is because what ever we think it is it will be the opposite of that. Some say it started with Calvin Coolidge when he was President in the 1920’s, some say it comes from Alice In Wonderland in the mid-1800’s since it was mentioned in the book. The only thing for sure about today is that whatever you think it is, it has to be the complete opposite.

How to celebrate – Whatever you were suppose to do today, do the opposite. However if you thought about doing something else today you need to do the opposite of that. Go back to bed and wait for tomorrow.

January 10th Peculiar People Day

January holidays

We all know at least one Peculiar person don’t we? Maybe we are that one peculiar person someone else knows! There is normally nothing wrong with a peculiar person, or at least we hope there isn’t. They are just odd for some reason or the other. It may be the way they speak or the things they do, they may collect peculiar things or watch odd movies but it’s still okay, well most of the time anyway. Live and let live I say… but don’t quote me because someone wiser said that before me! Enjoy the people around you even with their faults, after-all… you may be odd in their eyes too!

How to celebrate – Figure out who that peculiar person is that you know. List what others might find peculiar about you! Enjoy people for who they are.

January 25th Opposite Day

January holidays

Boy, do I hate this day! I use to work with the school system and whenever this day came around it was horrible. Beside the underwear being worn on the outside, which was gross, no meant yes and stop meant walk. It led to all sorts of issues meant to be funny, but didn’t end up that way.

How to celebrate – Do everything opposite if the way you would normally do them today. Have supper for breakfast. Forget today and get on with your life.

January 10th Peculiar People Day

January holidays

Would you rather be like everyone else in the world or would you rather be considered… peculiar? Most of us think of peculiar as being bad but it doesn’t have to be. It can also mean someone who is just out of step with the rest of the world and sometimes that can actually be good. Would you call Albert Einstein peculiar? How about Martin Luther King? Jesus? Mohamed? Buddha? Accept your own, and others, uniqueness as a good thing with possibilities instead of something bad and limiting. After all, those who are the most peculiar are generally the most interesting as well.

How to celebrate – Learn what makes you peculiar to others. Celebrate your oddities. Live and let live.

January 10th Peculiar People Day

January holidays

Peculiar People make our days interesting. Who know, maybe someone even considers us peculiar. Peculiar people are the kind of people that books are written about, movies are made of and help make the world go round. Some peculiar people are bad, some are good but most are just like you and me, and I guess I am proud of being peculiar. If you think of what peculiar actually means, I think most of us want to be, and are, peculiar. After-all, what good is it if we are exactly the same? So take pride in who you are, what you do or how you think, even if its different than everybody else. So long as you do not force your ways on others it will make their lives better too.

How to celebrate – Enjoy being different. Respect others. Make a list of what you think makes you different than everyone else.

November 20th Absurdity Day

November holidays

Nov. 20th Absurdity Day

Can you imagine a world where ever T was crossed and every I was doted? Where everyone wore the same clothes, spoke the same language, and ate the same foods? To me, that would be absurd. What do you consider absurd? Is it some one who dresses in strange clothes or wears their hair in different colors. I admit that is not my cup of tea either. But, they, just as I, have the right to think the way they want, dress the way they want, and to do the unexpected from time to time. Without these absurdities we would all be the same. I don’t always like them, sometimes I totally disagree with them, but we have the right to be as absurd as we want to be… when I don’t like it, I’ll just look the other way.

How to celebrate – Live and let live. Try something you’ve never done before.  Make a list of things you think others might find absurd about you.

January holidays, Unboxing the Bizarre

Do you know any peculiar people? Are you peculiar yourself? Some of us are and we are proud of it! I mean, what is good about living a life where you look like and act like everyone else? That’s boring. And since there are apparently so many of us it is only fitting that we have a day of our own to celebrate our… differences!

Some people use disguises, the old watermelon on the head trick is one way to show your difference. And it is fairly practical, you have a snack to munch on during the day and you are recycling at the same time.

Others strive to be like historical people who were odd. In fact, most of the people who stood out in history were… peculiar. To say Einstein, Caesar and the Ringling Brothers were not odd is to not give them credit for what they accomplished!

Some show their oddness by what they do or what hobbies they have. Collecting snails might qualify… or maybe, dancing on popcorn… or maybe, giving  singing lessons to monks! Whatever it is that makes you different than everyone else be proud of it!

Just don’t take it too far. Be un-ordinary, extraordinary, unusual, strange, odd, uncommon, intriguing, different, abnormal or quirky. Just don’t step on anybody else’s chance to be themselves.

How to celebrate – Find some way to show how unique you truly are. Pick up a new hobby. Be proud of who you are.
