Throughout every day of the year, many people in the United States celebrate unique, strange, and weird holidays. Any person can apply to their respective government or to the United Nations in order to have a day formalized as a particular celebration. Unless the day is racist, sexist or otherwise hateful, it is usually considered as a special celebration. This freedom has led to some pretty strange holidays. Some interesting events, daily observances or weekly observances can also be celebrated as weird holidays.

Some of the interesting holidays in January are Happy Mew Year for Cats Day, Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, Thomas Crapper Day, Squirrel Appreciation Day, and Penguin Awareness Day.

Exotic Holidays - The Jewish Holiday of Shavuot

Exotic Holidays – The Jewish Holiday of Shavuot

Of all the Jewish holidays celebrated throughout the year, Shavuot is one of the most interesting, varied, and disputed holidays. Shavuot falls on the 6th day of the Jewish month of Sivan, which usually occurs in late May or early June. The holiday officially commemorates the day that God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai.

According to Legend, King David was born and died on the holy day of Shavuot. Some Jews will celebrate it with a trek to Jerusalem for a day of solemn prayer. Jewish people living in Israel generally only celebrate Shavuot for one day, but those who live outside Israel will often hold two-day Shavuot celebrations.

Types of Holidays

Types of Holidays

Holidays are often associated to celebrations and gatherings. It is a particular term that creates a picture where family, friend and other people come together and celebrate. This perception is basically correct because by definition, a holiday is a day that is set by a country or a group of people intended for conducting different activities, for celebration or for observation or for whatever purpose it may serve. The word holiday is said to be a combination of the words holy and day. In the past, this word was only used by the Christian Church to represent their holidays but was later on adopted by almost everyone to represent both special and non-special days.
