National Holidays No One Celebrates

September’s “Useless” Holidays

Did you know that there is a national holiday just for corn dogs?

There are plenty of useless holidays. Everything from National Panda Day to Staff Appreciation Day. There are days for so many things you would never guess there was a day for. These holidays are fun and weird and are perfect for a good laugh every once in a while.

Although these holidays can be super weird and random, they do have meaning. There are categories for these holidays which include fun, arts and entertainment, special interests, animals, food and beverages, relationships, appreciation, awareness, cultural, causes, health, and federal.

Some are funny and entertaining, while some others are serious. This way, there is a national day that applies to almost everyone. These days can be a helpful reminder for doing basic things like having manners or taking a break. 

 

Now for some fun holidays of the month of September!

 

September 3rd – Chicken Boy Day

In the first seven days of September there is a national day for “Chicken Boy”. Chicken Boy Day is a fun holiday with a fun background. Chicken Boy is actually a statue of a boy with a chicken head holding a bucket of chicken, located in Los Angeles.

 

September 5th – “National Actdumb. (sic) Day”

How is there a national holiday for acting dumb? National Actdumb. Day is a holiday to support people who have a tough time performing tasks someone else would never find hard.
