Weird National Holidays Are Everywhere

By Anita Ortega


So many individuals like to make up very creative dates that they can celebrate during the year. This is one reason why America has so many weird national holidays in place. Every human being who is living within the United States likes to take the time to think about all of the fun activities that they can do on these special dates.

Southern people consider themselves to be very proud of all of their accomplishments and everybody realizes this fact. It is also known that Hollywood creates their movies by certain southern standards. This is one reason why the government has allowed these people to have their very own Confederate Memorial Day.

It is a well known fact that Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, Louisiana, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas, Texas and Alabama all celebrate Confederate Day. This is one day that they can always rub the confederate flag in anyone's face who has a different opinion.

Black people do not feel the same way about this holiday. Confederate Day reminds them about all of the bad things which occurred a very long time ago. People of color know that white Americans living within the south wanted to keep slavery alive and well. Some southern Caucasian individuals still hold on to this belief since they consider blacks to be very inferior to them.

Unfortunately so many Caucasian humans within the United States are not interested in the feelings that other people display. If you are different from them in any way at all they do not respect your thoughts. Despite any negativity all agencies under the state will close their business for one day.

People living in black communities have led marches against Confederate Memorial Day and the flag that goes along with it. They want all Americans to remember why the Civil War was fought and all of the trauma that it caused. Luckily people working for the state ignore all of the chaos that is going on about this date since they will have a free day off.

February is one cold month that will bring ice and snow storms to everyone living in America. This month will also bring a strange date that happens on the 13th. For one day everyone who is living in society will get the opportunity to change their name. People who have odd names such as Jaquan or Latoria can ditch these identities for another. Unfortunately there are some black people living in American cities who wish to honor their African heritage in the strangest way. They will name their children all types of funny names that are very hard to understand or pronounce. This date will help these children to just have simple names that are more acceptable within society.

The Middle Child Day happens on August 12th each and every year. This date will give all middle children the chance to be seen and heard. Parents everywhere can treat their second child to dinner and a movie on this day. The oldest and youngest child can also do great things for their middle sibling.
