Pepero day?
Sounds utterly useless.

John Frum Day! Well, I don't imagine it's useless in Vanuatu...so maybe not. :-) But it sure is interesting.

Amazing how it all started, isn't it?

wow, that's one I'd never heard of. Good one Abraxas.

it was reesetee's suggestion.

reesetee commented on the list useless-holidays
Ah, that's okay--but thanks, AZ. They do take it seriously where they celebrate it, so I suppose it's useless only to the rest of us. :-)

Oops! Sorry reestee. :)

reesetee commented on the list useless-holidays
Not to worry.

Ok, so I want to add Juneteenth, but it would seem rather insensitive to put it on a list of "useless" holidays. Any suggestions?

Create a "useful holidays" list? I won't be offended if I'm not allowed there.

Then I would need to go find some other useful holidays. Those are often less fun.

Boxing Day? Guy Fawkes Day? Chinese New Year? Okay, maybe they're not Juneteenth, but come on. ;-)

That could be tricky. For example, on which list would you put New Year's Day (Jan. 1st)? Some people find it utterly useless, while others plan for it for months.
I tend to stay away from the latter group. ;-)
