Celebratory "Awkward Combination of Holidays Day" blog!

Today, I would like to highlight several "holidays"(publicized courtesy of Facebook) that are being celebrated today.

  •  Pay it Forward Day. This is a beautiful day! I love the whole idea of it! Everyone who "attends" spends the day running around doing really nice things for other people!


However, it's only slightly awkward that today is also:


  • National Be a Creeper Day. Now we all have to wonder which holiday that guy who's trying to walk that lady across the street is celebrating.

And to make the situation even more complicated and awkward, it's also:
  • Wear a Dress Day. AWESOME. Thanks for telling me that I look super nice, but again, WHICH HOLIDAY ARE YOU CELEBRATING RIGHT NOW?! 
It's also World AIDS Awareness day. So along with all the people (hopefully girls) in dresses, the people being creepy, and the people being nice, there are people who genuinely want to help the world.


It's an odd day, to say the least.

There are several ways I have thought of to battle the odd awkwardness of this day, so I'll list them here as a peace offering for that comment about the man helping the lady cross the street.

  1. Make a new holiday called "Laugh Awkwardly Day." That way people can't tell whether you think they're an activist, a girly girl, a creep, or a super nice person. They'll be so confused that they'll leave you alone. 
  2. Hide in your room. And it's up to you what you do (or wear) whilst in there. 
  3. Try to celebrate each holiday independently. This could be done by: (a. dividing your day into 6-hour sections, so each holiday gets their own chunk of the day (b. celebrating them all at the same time. Example: Wear a red dress and look incredibly creepy all the time, except for when you're doing nice things, then you behave like a normal nice person. 
  4. Refuse to celebrate any of the above mentioned holidays. 
  5. Laugh hysterically.
