What Sort Of Gift Is Appropriate For Vacuum Day?

Making personalized calendars even more personal with the addition of peculiar dates; here are some for February.

FeeFiFoto has been producing personalized photo calendars as a core part of our business since we were established about five years ago.  For a long time our designs and features were relatively unchanged, but last year we added a bunch of new templates, a thousand or so pieces of clip art, and the capacity to arrange photos in collages instead of being limited to a single photo per page.  We've always had a feature that lets you enter your own family birthdays, anniversaries or special events. 

Last year the kids and I designed calendars for our family, and in addition to the usual birthdays and anniversaries, we chose one day each month for a fictitious holiday just to see if anyone was paying attention.  January 16 was Talk Like Pirates Day, February 24 was Walk Backwards Day, March 1 was Talk Really Fast Day, August 17 was Snowball Fight Day, and November 2 was Kiss Your Mom Day.  We also acknowledged some legitimate holidays and anniversaries, like the Ides of March (March 15), Beethoven's Birthday (December 16) and the anniversary of Paul Revere's Ride (April 18).  It was fun and silly.

I can't imagine that the majority of customers who buy personalized photo calendars from FeeFiFoto have my family's twisted warped exotic highly developed sense of humor, but on the outside chance that at least someone out there appreciates a good absurdist joke, I've compiled a list of some really weird, but apparently true, national and international holidays.  Eventually you'll find the entire list as a separate page on this blog, but to get us started, here are some unusual holidays for the month of February:

That's a lot of remembrance to cram into poor little February. I'm glad to see that you squeezed in representation for Leap Year. It gets left out 75% of the time.

Thanks for making calendar time a feature. Your posts are fun.

Wow. Awesome article. I can't imagine how silly and funny your kids must be to come up with those silly dates. Oh, by the way, I'll skip National Toothache Day, too. All the way with you.
