Did you ever celebrate a fictional day?

I do! I haven’t quite figured out what I should do other than eat kidney or something.

I celebrated Christmas a few times. It’s the day when a Jesus guy was supposed to be born.

September 19 - Talk like a Pirate day
October 16 - the day the Lost in Space crew took off (and also my friends birthday, so we invariably celebrate both)

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrr, Matey! Glad I’m not the only one celebrating.

And I excommunicate you for saying our scared holidays are fictional! May the Turkey Curse fall upon you!

Extracted *from * fiction I celebrate Towel Day and of course International Talk Like a Pirate Day. All aboard! Mind the oars!

Always seem to forget about May the fourth though. :frowning:

That’s Countdown Day, right? Particularly around mid-afternoon.

May 17th is a real holiday as it’s my birthday, but it does seem rather odd that every year I find myself celebrating on the day they buried Gage Creed…

I definitely watched V for Vendetta on the last 5th of November, and will probably do it next November as well.

Also, once a group of friends and I celebrated our own made-up holiday called “Agnostica”; cleverly disguised as a secular holiday, it was really just an excuse to give/receive presents. :smiley:

Aye, me hearty, that be me favARRRRite, as well! :cool:

Sort of.
Almost 2 years ago, we had to suddenly leave our daycare provider after something pretty terrible happened in her family. My husband and I were covering the days at home while we searched for a new provider. My daughter was fairly thrown by the whole thing (she didn’t know the circumstances, but suddenly she wasn’t going to daycare anymore) and it was hugely stressful for me trying to balance feeling awful for the former provider, knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that I would never feel OK about my kids being in her care again and having to find a way to tell her that we were leaving, and trying to find childcare in a town where people line it up before their babies are even born and under circumstances where I really didn’t know how I was going to trust anyone with my babies.

One day, in an attempt to just get us all out of our funk, I took the kids to the party store and bought fancy plates and napkins, baked a birthday cake from scratch, and had a birthday party when it wasn’t anyone’s birthday. (Well, it was someone’s somewhere, but no one we knew).

It was awesome.

Avast, ye scurvy dogs - I celebrate it too!

I still refer to September 30th as “St. Whedon’s Day” in honor of Serenity being released.
