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.

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.

November 20th Absurdity Day

November holidays

There seem to be a lot of strange days in November and today is no exception, it’s Absurdity Day. Of course, something considered absurd really does fall to the individual and what they consider absurd. It may seem quite normal to someone else. However, should you choose to observe today as a holiday you may want to list those things you consider to be odd enough to make your absurd list, which if you think about it, is sort of something absurd to do in itself.

How to celebrate – Determine what you consider to be absurd. Form a club to consider what is absurd and what isn’t. Make a list of absurdities.
