Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day. I neither wore green, nor got pinched, both of which were okay with me.
St. Patrick’s is no Christmas or New Year’s; but it’s not National Pancake Day either. Sort of a middle ground holiday.
But there are some strange ones out there – those holidays that slip through the cracks excpet for a very segmented group of people.
Onto today’s question:
What is the strangest holiday you’ve ever celebrated?

In my high school English Lit class, we celebrated Guy Fawkes Day. Guy Fawkes was some man who tried to kill King James I of England a few hundred years back. In England, they celebrate the day he was executed and burn an effigy on a bonfire. We didn’t get to burn any effigies, but my teacher made some yummy gingerbread-type dessert for our class that apparently goes with the celebration.
National Talk Like A Pirate Day. Arjay Gruspe also knew about this haha.
