January 9th Play God Day

January holidays

Got to be careful with this one cause nobody can play God like God can and guess what, challenge Him and you lose! There have been a bunch of movies about what it might be like to be a god for a day most of them show how we fail at even the most meager of attempts. The fact is, people were just not meant to be God, or gods, of any kind! So when you think you might be able to perform some miracle or pass any judgement on anyone else, think first… you can’t… without making a fool out of yourself and perhaps condemning yourself along the way!

How to celebrate – Let God do Godly things! Strive to be as good of a person as you can be. Know you are no better, or worse, than anyone else.

December 25th Christmas Day

December holidays

This is another day you should be spending with your family and loved ones rather than reading a blog. So I’m not going to write much about this, the most sacred Christian holiday… the birth of Jesus Christ. Now it may not have been actually on December 25th, no one knows, but it is the symbol of Christianity and should be respected. (As any holiday with religious meaning) Celebrate today if you choose, honor today because you can.

December 24th Christmas Eve

December holidays

It’s Christmas Eve! Go spend the day with your family, loved ones or friends! If you are Christian, enjoy the birth of the Savior, if you are not just have a day of peace and enjoy those around you. Merry Christmas.

August 22nd Be An Angel Day

August Holidays

The idea of being an Angel has appealed to most people at one time or another. To be able to watch over those who you leave behind and still be able to help them in some way. To watch over those in need, those who are suffering, to me Michael Landon. Well, you can’t be an actual an Angel. In fact, according to what a minster told me, humans can not be… ever, ever… an Angel. Beyond that, I was told Angels are a step below man. (I find that really, really hard to believe) But I am not educated in what it takes to become and Angel so I will pass on the information and you can choose to believe it or not.

How to celebrate – Try and help people where you can. Try to be nice and caring. Reach for the stars!

May 5th National Day of Prayer

May Holidays

The first Thursday in May has been a National Day of Prayer since Harry S. Truman proclaimed it in 1952, signing a bill to introduce it Congress. However Congress has honored Prayer since it set assigned time for prayer with each meeting beginning in 1775. Interestingly, Congress requires each President to proclaim a National Day of Prayer each year since 1988. Whether you believe in God or not, you have to admit about the only chance this world has anymore is through prayer.

How to celebrate – Pray everyday, let alone once a year. Think about it, you prove nothing trying to prove there is no God. Honor others beliefs.

March 4th World Day Of Prayer

March Holidays

Isn’t it funny how when all else fails us that we generally turn to prayer. Maybe if we started there we would be far better off in the long run, or the short run. Today is a day that we should all pray, it would be nice if we prayed for world peace and an end of hunger and for things the world needs but more often than not, our own concerns get in the way and if we do pray, it’s for ourselves or those things directly concerning us.Today is always celebrate on the first Friday in March and was created by Mary Ellen Fairchild James of Brooklyn, Ny in 1887.

How to celebrate – Say a prayer today. Form a prayer group. Don’t just pray to ask for something, pry to be thankful as well.

January 9th Play God Day

January holidays

None of us should ever play God (well unless you are someone in a theatrical event with names like Evan or Bruce…) The one thing for sure is that we should never be making decisions that should be left up to God, whether we get them right or not, we will eventually pay the price for it. At least consult God, through prayer, hopefully He will give you the answer.

How to celebrate – Follow your belief.

December 25th Christmas Day

December holidays

Here’s the day a lot of us wait for all year long, we decorate for it, shop for and celebrate it for many, many reasons. In the Christian world, it’s because of Jesus’ birth but we tend to forget that amongst everything else we are involved in. In a way, it’s okay because God would want you to be happy and celebrate his only son. Just… don’t forget about him completely as you go through your day today. Merry Christmas to all!

How to celebrate – Spend the day with your family. Remember what Christmas is for. Celebrate!

August 22nd Be An Angel Day

August Holidays

Today it is suggested that we should all be more like Angels. (Though I am told by the religious community a human cannot be an Angel) I think the real meaning of today is act more like you think an Angel acts than to try and literally be one. We think of most Angels as Women but the are Men too, Michael, Gabriel and so forth. But there is something about an Angel being soft and gentle which reminds us more of women. Today was created by Jayne Howard Feldman in 1993.

How to celebrate – Study all the Angels in God’s toolbox. Try and act like an Angel. Look for Angels in your outfield.

April 2nd Good Friday

April Holidays

It is hard for me to understand how this is “Good Friday” in the Christian world. It is the day that Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross at noon and left human form at 3 PM. The date does vary but the reason for this “Holiday” never does. Good Friday is also known as “Dark Friday”, perhaps a bit more fitting. It should be noted that if records are correct, the day Jesus was placed on the cross started out bright and dry but at 3 PM the sky darkened and became stormy.

How to celebrate – If you are Christian, spend the day in prayer. Celebrate Jesus Christ being raised from the dead on Easter Sunday. Let all celebrate their faith in freedom and choice.
