Make personalized calendars even more personal with the addition of peculiar dates; here are some for January.
FeeFiFoto has been producing personalized photo
calendars as a core part of our business since we were established. For the 2007 Christmas season 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.
Here are some silly, and real (supposedly) holidays you can add to photo calendars.
