Blasé Day – November 25, 2024

History of Blasé Day

Blasé is a French word that emerged during the 19th century and has Germanic origins. Someone described as ‘blasé’ is difficult to impress as they are indifferent to things, usually because they have experienced them before. This could be due to overindulgence or having had many interesting and exciting life experiences. For example, someone who travels often and has visited many eye-catching locations might be harder to please.
Those familiar with the French culture know it through literature, art, film, and philosophy. It’s a country rich with a culture that has a very liberal view of life. Despite the heavy influence from the West, French people differ very much when it comes to their attitude, which is the first thing foreigners notice when visiting France. French people are very formal and courteous. They are known for being intellectual and pensive people who value the arts. Because of this, they appear calmer and more collected than most cultures. They show little excitement and enthusiasm. It’s not a matter of being unenthusiastic; French people tend to keep a more blasé front. They are generally less expressive with their emotions and not as dramatic. This makes the holiday very suitable for French people, especially those living abroad and finding things extremely blasé.

This unusual holiday was invented by Wellcat Holidays. Thomas and Ruth Roy are a married couple that have come up with over 80 fun and quirky holidays for people. They have several holidays for every season with many unpredictable and fun ideas. Their copyrighted holidays have been featured in the “Los Angeles Times,” the “Wall Street Journal,” the “Washington Post,” and “U.S.A. Today.” Their holiday “Northern Hemisphere Hoddie-Hoo Day” became so popular that it’s now celebrated in Europe and America.
