Everything has a beginning, and this blog began as the brainchild of Allie Andrews and Anna Myers. It all started when Anna discovered that Saturday, July 24 was National Tequila Day. She and Allie met to celebrate said holiday at a classy and exotic spot ... Tortilla Flats. Over a pitcher of margaritas and some tequila shots (all for the sake of honoring the day), they began to discuss how great it would be to celebrate more national holidays. They took it a step further and thought - why not make a calendar of all of the holidays and enable more people to join in the celebrations? Who wouldn't want to know when the next "Barbie in a Blender Day" was coming up or participate in "Particularly Preposterous Packing Day"? But the idea couldn't stop with just a calendar. After all, don't we all want to hear about how someone celebrated National Underwear Day? Or honored National Navajo Code Talkers Day? The answer is, yes, yes we do. Therefore, the blog was born.
Anytime one of us celebrates a national holiday, we'll write a blog post and share the experience with the world. I am personally committed to commemorating at least one holiday per day and hope that others join with me. If you'd like to see the calendar so that you too can take part in celebrating and remembering all of our national holidays, email me at aemyers9@gmail.com.
