Obscure Holidays: February Edition

Facebook Tweet
Elizabeth O'Connor   February 22, 2013

Everybody knows about Groundhog’s Day, Mardi Gras, Valentine’s Day and Presidents Day, but in case you’re bored of the usual holidays (and maybe a little bit relieved that Valentine’s Day is over), check out CM’s list of some very obscure holidays that also occur in February.

February 5th – World Nutella Day

It’s real! Why is this not more widely celebrated??

February 7th – Wave All Your Fingers At Your Neighbor Day

Wait, so not just eight or nine of my fingers? I should wave all of them? Seems pretty extreme…

February 9th – National Toothache Day

If this is a holiday, shouldn’t there also be a day dedicated to celebrating that special moment when you’re trapped alone in a public bathroom and there’s no more toilet paper?

February 14th – National Ferris Wheel Day

I personally love Valentine’s Day, but in case you’re not a huge fan you can always spend the 14th celebrating Ferris Wheels…

February 15th – National Gumdrop Day

I think the last time I actually saw a legitimate gumdrop in person was never.

February 18th – National Battery Day

I’m guessing the Duracell marketing department dreamed this one up. Get charged up about national battery day!

February 22nd – International World Thinking Day

Thinking has apparently become so difficult that we need to designate a special day just to get it all done.

February 23rd – International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day

I bet dogs would love this day…if they had the mental capacity to understand what a holiday is.

February 27th – No Brainer Day

International World Thinking Day was just exhausting. We all deserve a day off.

February 28th – Public Sleeping Day

This is great news for me, and all other sleep deprived college students.
