I didn't realize how many strange holidays there were!!! I guess that I learn something new everyday!!! Thanks for the info, it is cool to know!!!!  Nicole Humphrey (15757) 24 Oct 2006 01:15 PMAs a teacher I collected these for so long and always wondered what I'd use them for after I was finished teaching. Well now with a large family and lots of fun family time, we turn these holidays into a giggle fest (because frankly, fess up - some are darn right weird!) and we just enjoy each other's company! I love stuff like this and incorporating it into your scrapbooking is even better. Especially when it's a day like: National Disgusting Little Pumpkin-Shaped Candies Day (see October 28!) and everyone in your household loves them and we must have eight bags of them! LOL Imagine my scrapbook layout for that day! ha! Community Tags calendar of events, crazy holidays], strange holidays, Scrapbooking, weird holidays Discuss this article
