Order personalized photo calendars from FeeFiFoto as outstanding Christmas gifts, but make your calendars even more personal with the addition of peculiar dates.

Looking for a full selection of strange and bizarre holidays? You've come to the right place.
Sorry, but my favorite November Holiday has to be November 9th - my birthday! Which is also Chaos Never Dies Day. Fitting actually.

This post is great. I am definitely going to order a calendar for my father in law with some random dates on it. November 1 is "Start thinking about Christmas Day" around here. :)

Hmmm... "Start Thinking About Christmas Day". I'll have to add that one to the list.

If I put American Thanksgiving in my calendar does that mean I can celebrate it too?

Holy crap those are some wierd "days".. who the heck determines what a "day" is???
BTW, Happy Belated Birthday!

Captain: you go right ahead and celebrate Thanksgiving any time your little heart desires. Do Canadian families get together and snipe at each other on Thanksgiving the way Americans do?
Maureen: Some of these days are actually officially declared by Congress. I regret to say that I don't know the origin of National Bundt Pan Day.
Thanks for the birthday wishes.
