Did you know that June 7 was National Donut Day? First celebrated in 1938 by the Salvation Army in Chicago, the holiday was established as a fundraiser for those in need during the Great Depression, and to honor the Salvation Army “donut lassies” who served deep-fried rounds of dough to famished soldiers during World War I. What began as a small celebration in Chicago has since been celebrated internationally every year on the first Friday of June. And so on June 7 thousands of participating donut shops around the country observed the day by offering free donuts to customers.
Reading this, I was curious about other similar holidays. I was shocked to see that there is almost one a day and includes the following:
1. Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day-last Monday in January;
2. World Laughter Day-January 11;
3. National Paper Airplane Day-May 26;
4. Monkey Day-December 14;
5. System Administrator Appreciation Day-Last Friday in July.
In my research I was shocked to see Festivus, the holiday created on the television show Seinfeld, included on many calendars. If you could create a holiday, what would it be?
Enjoy the outing Gotham!!!
