National Catherine Day takes place on January 13. Catherine or Katherine is associated with the adjective katharos in Greek, which means pure. It is a feminine name popular in Christian countries as it is derived from the name of the Christian saint Catherine of Alexandria, a 4th-century martyr. It has roots in Latin, French, Irish, and Anglo-Saxon. It originates from Katharina in Latin. It was among the 100 most famous names in 1880 in the U.S. and Britain, but its popularity declined in 1950.
National DTC (Direct-To-Consumer) Friday
National Direct-To-Consumer Friday, or National DTC Friday, takes place every year, exactly two weeks before Black Friday in the United States. This year, it takes place on November 14. This day is the first national shopping holiday that celebrates and empowers the direct-to-consumer movement, a business model that gets rid of third parties and connects product sellers and service providers directly with their clients, thus offering a faster and much more efficient process. The date right before Black Friday was chosen to accelerate and support the D.T.C. community and spread the word about it, as there are many options in the market and consumers can get confused when they are about to buy something.
