Make Up Your Own Holiday Day
There are many holidays throughout the year, but one of the holidays that gets us most excited at National Today is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day, which is celebrated on March 26. Whether you wish to celebrate something profound like Use Only Recycled Paper Day or you want to give in to your randomness by paying homage to Eat Purple Food Day, the possibilities are endless. This day is literally what it stands for — making up a personalized holiday that is close to your heart. Today, it has become easier to establish your own holiday by submitting a suggestion but, in the days of yore, the task required much more stamina. Did you know it took almost a century for Thanksgiving to be declared as a national holiday? Sarah Hale, who started the process, sent numerous letters to get a National Thanks day back in the 1800s, but her efforts did not come to fruition until 1941.

Alfred Hitchcock Day
Known as the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock is a pioneering film director who brought us some of our favorite classic horror films. From The 39 Steps to Psycho, Hitchcock developed innovative filmmaking techniques that influenced generations of future filmmakers and changed the way we view horror and mystery.
Hitchcock directed over 50 films throughout his career and introduced the world to iconic characters, film shots, and directorial conventions. Drawing on his austere childhood and exacting parents as well as the work of German Expressionist artists, Hitchcock became an expert at nerve-wracking suspense, twist endings, and psychologically complex characters.
