There are a lot of strange holidays. Some of these holidays are consumer-oriented (以消费者为导向的). One example is International Coffee Day. It is held on September 29. Another is World Pizza Day. It is held on February 9. Some holidays are meant to spread awareness (意识) of something. And one example is World Elephant Day. It is held on August 12. Another holiday is World Cancer Day. It is on February 4.
Some holidays are created just for a laugh. Have you heard of Frog Jumping Day? It is held on May 13. Another funny holiday is I Forgot Day. It is on July 2.
So where did all of these days come from? Christmas is a national holiday. So is Thanksgiving. Creating holidays like these takes some doing (费尽周折). But anyone can create a random (随意的) holiday.
Tom Roy is a radio host. He has created around 80 holidays. These holidays include Wave All Your Fingers at Your Neighbors Day. It also includes Blah Blah Blah Day.
There doesn’t have to be a reason (理由) to create holidays. That’s what Roy explained. He said it’s all just for fun.
“It doesn’t cost anything to celebrate them. That’s the cool thing.”
