Making A New Holiday

Prompt: All sorts of wacky and unusual holidays can be found when you search for "weird" holiday. If you were purposing an unusual holiday to be posted on an internet forum, what would it be?

         Right now just about every day is designated for something special. There is Pizza Day, Cupcake Day, Doughnut Day, Brownie Day, Cookie Day, Chocolate Chip Cookie Day, etc. These all help promote and sell these items. There's probably a day for hamburgers, French fries, and fried chicken and many others. There's International Woman's Day, Perfume Day, and Lipstick Day. I'm positive there is an Ice Cream Day, Potato Chip Day, and Spaghetti Day.

         There is Teachers Day in May, Doctors Day in March, and International Nurses Day. Aunt and Uncles Day is in July. There is Secretary's Day, Employee Appreciation Day, and Boss' Day. There is Book Day. I'm guessing there is a Trash Collectors Day, Housekeepers Day, and Gardeners Day. Probably a day for carpenters, plumbers, and house painters. I'd probably be hard pressed to come up with a first-time, unique holiday.

         Maybe an Indoor Plumbing Day! Only a hundred years ago, my state was still trying to enforce the new law requiring every residence, even in the hill country, to have an outhouse. People objected on the grounds that the government did not need to meddle in their private affairs. It took another fifty years to get people to switch to indoor plumbing. So celebrate that day by flushing and taking a shower, but not at the same time.
