When you think about the holidays in December, you probably think about Christmas first. When pressed, you’d quickly come up with Hanukkah and New Year’s Eve. If asked to pick through the files in your brains to come up with other notable days in the month, you might be able to recall that December 1st is World AIDS Day and that December is also when Human Rights Day is celebrated.
But those aren’t the only holidays that people have on their calendars in the month of December. Nearly every single day in December celebrates something that is special to someone. Here are just a few of the strange, rare or specialized December celebrations that you might not have known about:
- A’Phabet Day (also known as “No L Day”)
- Abolition of Slavery Day Bathtub Party Day
- Cat Herders Day Gingerbread House Day
- International Day of Disabled Persons
- Make Up Your Mind Day
- National Communicate with your Baby Day
- National Cotton Candy Day
- National Haiku Poetry Day
- World Peace Meditation Day
