Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate. – Not much into playing Fantasyland today but I’ll go with the flow from the Daily Writing prompt.

Have you seen the number of holidays already invented? You have asked the almost impossible. I found this site long ago and the lists by day, week, and month of holidays are ENDLESS.

So I found a photo that gave me an idea. Carry a Red Bag Day. Put something fairly heavy in it and carry it. At the end of the day sit it down. Imagine those are all your troubles. Stand up again without the bag. Now go take that smile to the fridge and get a bowl of ice cream (or insert your favorite food/drink/dessert).

Option 1

Hold and play with an infant child, puppy, or kitten day. Do it for an hour minimum. I bet the smiles would tell me why it’s celebrated. Those fortunate enough to have that job full-time you get an hour or longer break from it.

Why is it obvious? We need to remind ourselves of the innocence of life and how precious it is.

Option 2

Re-USE It Day All day think about how you can reuse or repurpose something you would normally just trash. See how much you can reduce your waste. This is something we might want to think about before we’re all living on garbage.

Option 3

You Do IT Year – I know everyone likes holidays. Family and friends gather, a day off the job to do what you want, or just lay around and do nothing.

You see the holiday wound is still rather raw with me. I along with many others ended up working an inordinate amount of holidays in our lifetimes.

On You Do IT Year which is every official holiday for a year we reverse things. Oh everyone will celebrate but it will be different and not together. Everyone who is normally off on the holidays will go to work for us and we will be off.

Everyone might not celebrate but it may teach those who don’t or haven’t ever worked holidays to appreciate them more because of those who do.

Sorry, I appear to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Let me get to work on improving my attitude.
