All our holidays are validated with sponsors or organizations; or, we validate the source or origin for an observance to prove it's not made up.

We do not have holidays for every single day of the year. Sites that do, IMHO are making some of their days up. Beware!
Also, some observances that are validated through website links, can't be updated until their websites update their 2012 information.

Visiting us is free! Our Holiday information is free. We have always paid all costs and remained ad free as well.

All my holiday and observances listings are not "fair use" information.
They are copyrighted via this domain and are not to be taken and put on another website, blog, or made into a downloadable application, etc..
Doing so is a violation of the DMCA.
