All our holidays are validated with sponsors, organizations, proclamations,
history;
or, we validate the source or origin for an observance
to prove it's not made up.
Although we have holidays for most days,
there are a few that are blank. I realize social media spouts these
daily. I'm sure you know that some are just made up and fake.
Maybe they're fun, but, Beware!![]()
Also, some observances that are validated through website links, can't
be updated until their websites update their information.
I
do not do ads. I do not try to make money from keeping these listings.
But, I do not respect other holiday sites that steal my information and
put it on a site wanting to make money from ads or charging to even validate
a holiday.
I'll add it for free if it's coming from a valid source and
not obscene, hateful, etc.
All of my holiday and observances lists as a whole group are not "fair use" information.
(Individual holidays are owned by their sponsors.)
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.
Link to my holiday pages. Or, use them for
personal, off-line use for clubs, newsletters, homemade calendars, etc.
You're invited to share these holidays on Twitter, etc. Just tell
folks where you got them.
All I have is word-of-mouth since I do not do ads.
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.
| Due
to COVID-19 "Social Distancing Policies" many observances
are being moved to different months or are being cancelled for
2020. Some are remaining, but observed "virtually." I will do my best to keep my information as accurate as possible as "some" websites post their updates/changes. Many have not done it, or wait until the last minute. |

The contents of my website are copyrighted! Therefore, my holidays/observances as a composite are not to be copied and put on any other holiday website, blog, Facebook page, etc. If you Tweet them out per day, please give me a credit. Thanks. |

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) |
7-7 (July
7) |
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!"
|
| Since this is personal to each one of us, I'm
putting the link to the information here. In many countries, besides your birthday, you also have a "Name Day." This is the special day of the year that has been designated for your name. Different countries have different calendars. Click the link on the left to find out your special "Name Day." |
What about traditional holidays?
Although we feature mostly the unusual, fun, silly and unknown
observances, etc. we still do the traditional holidays too.
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.

I was interviewed in June by Eleska Aubespin for the "Florida Today" newspaper regarding all of these crazy, silly, wacky, and serious holidays. Note: The article printed our domain name wrong! :( |
