Humbug Day, also known as National Humbug Day, comes up every December 21. It is a holiday that allows you to cast off your frustrations before Christmas. Because the pressures of the festive season can get to us all, it is important that we all get a day to vent out all our frustrations. Created by Thomas and Ruth Roy, Humbug Day affords everyone 12 free humbugs. Things can get chaotic during the holidays, that’s why this day was created to help people cope with the stress and challenges.
National Maine Day
One of the latest national days to be added to the calendar, National Maine Day has been celebrated on December 21 since 2017. While it isn’t officially declared a national holiday, the day is still celebrated with fervor. Maine, also known as the Pine Tree State as well as Vacationland, is one of the most special states in the U.S. The day simply honors the 23rd state to join the union, but Maine’s history is what sets it apart. It lies at the northeasternmost tip of the country but offers more than many other states. Visit the state and celebrate it like the women and men of Maine do!
