OFFICIAL 2008 HOLIDAYS! Daily, Monthly, Weekly, Bizarre, Crazy, Unknown, Silly, Strange, Weird, Dumb, Odd, Traditional, Respected Observances, Awareness Days, Theme Days & Celebrations.

We were the FIRST on the net to provide this extensive validated listing!
We also try to be as accurate and up-to-date as possible.
Visiting us is free! Our Holiday information is free. We have always paid all costs and remained ad free as well.

All our holidays are validated with sponsors or organizations.
We do not have holidays for every single day of the year. Sites that do, IMHO are making days up. Beware!

2008 is also the Year of the Rat (Chinese Calendar).

Calendar based upon Javascript by Kevin Ilsen. Enhancements provided by Rick Pike. *This graphic link goes to the current month!*	<--Our calendar link goes to the current month. All the *DAILY* observances are listed! This means some days will have larger blocks than others. This means that each month prints on 2 pages, not one.
We now offer a FREE printable Brownielocks' calendar with her Daily Observances for each month.	Note: If someone tells me of a new observance, the html pages will be updated BEFORE the calendar! But, both are always subject to change as new information is always being provided to me.

About Bonza Bottler's Days
This confused some people because there was one every month.
It's also confusing because the title doesn't define the observance IMHO.
So I did not list them monthly this year. Instead I want to explain what they are.
The Bonza Bottler's Day celebrations means:
The day is the same as the month it is in!

There are 12 of them as follows:

1-1 (January 1)
2-2 (February 2)
3-3 (March 3)
4-4 (April 4 )
5-5 (May 5)
6-6 (June 6)

7-7 (July 7)
8-8 (August 8)
9-9 (September 9)
10-10 (October 10)
11-11 (November 11)
12-12 (December 12)

The sponsor describes it like this: "To celebrate when the number of the day is the same as the number of the month. It's an excuse to have a party at least once a month!"
Now that you know...
Party On!

This is a compliment. It means
you prefer to be at Brownielocks than doing your work.

What about the traditional holidays?

Visit our Cartoon Cave for all of the Traditional Holiday specials we've done such as Christmas, New Years, Valentines, St. Patrick's Day and St. Urho's Day, Easter, Halloween, 4th of July (and other patriotic holidays) Thanksgiving, Ramadan, Hanukkah & Kwanzaa + Graduation Day (some consider a holiday) and Labor Day.

What about stuff like historical events, famous people's birthdays, deaths, etc. ?
The best source for what occurred on any given day, other than our daily bizarre, silly, holidays and observances, is Wikipedia. Just do a search for any day and they list day of the year it is and then on one page all the historical events, births, deaths, etc. for that day.
