If you could invent a holiday, what and when would it be? What special traditions would take place on that day?
That's a great one! Or annual spay and neuter your animal day - with low cost services, vax, check ups, etc. So there would be no excuse!!Originally Posted by white cat lover
A National holiday - Adopt A Pet Day!

Ok, only if you come up here with a shovel and dig through the frozen ground! We usually get our worst snow right before (or sometimes after) the first day of spring. So could I postpone it until the middle of May?Originally Posted by snosrap5
I would invent 4 extra holidays revolving around the seasons.
First day of spring- holiday- must plant something, be it flowers, tree or
whatever.
We did that last year in our city, I got most of the vets on board and they even offered certificates that could be bought on that day cheaply and used within 30 days. I was really disappointed in the number of people that took advantage of it. $75-100 off a speuter is alot for people not to take advantage ofOriginally Posted by AddieBee

I am with you on this oneOriginally Posted by calico2222
Mine would be the "stay home and snuggle with your animals" day! Preferably on a Monday for a LONG weekend, and it doesn't matter what animal it is. Although, I really don't want to snuggle with a spider or a snake.
that is a holiday I would happily celebrateOriginally Posted by white cat lover

Did you get a lot of media saturation/coverage? Even then, people don't pay attention to things... and they are lazy.. then they complain that it's too expensive. But hey, offer them a free Grand Slam brekkie at Denny's and they will be lined out the door (true story).Originally Posted by icklemiss21

DH and I already celebrate these days, particularly the spring and summer ones. For spring, we dance under the stars. For summer, we blast out James Taylor's Summer's Here on the stereo. We cringe for fall. For the winter one, we toast the fact that the days are about to get longer again.Originally Posted by snosrap5

First day of spring- holiday- must plant something, be it flowers, tree or
whatever.
First day of summer- holiday- go to the beach, lake or some outdoor fun activity.
First day of Fall- holiday- have family rake the leaves day!
First day of Winter- holiday- Well of course it's just too cold so stay in and have a roaring fire.

Date: September 1.
Traditions: Every body would gather in an alley (or is it ally?).
People that mispell the word would have to go to a shelter.
Once every body has gathered, all of the trash cans would
be turned over and emptied in the alley. The party would begin
by retrieving food from the trash cans and hopefully there might
even be something like Ripple wine.
The whole idea of this holiday is to remind people of what many cats
have to go through to survive when they are left to fend for theirselves.
Do you know the story JT tells on his father about the first of May?Originally Posted by Momofmany
