Record Store Day. We love those limited-edition Jack White 45s that are red and made from recycled Nashville microbrewery waste and also triangular for some reason and have a song that's just called like "Let's Rock It Out."

It's actually HolyDays. Of course they are all made up but some have more legitimacy than others. Independence Day isn't a Holy Day. There's no religious aspect.

Rich white guys didn't want to be taxed so they became "enlightened". This is how you manipulate the masses.

Most man made "Christian" holidays have roots in paganism. Christmas, Easter, Sunday Sabbath weren't celebrated by the apostles, or the early true church after Jesus death.

I don't think so. Many holidays have solid reasons they exist.

I wouldn't call the "son of God born to a virgin" holiday a real solid reason.

Growing up watching older siblings gather cartons of eggs and grips of Charmin and make hit-lists of teachers/rival schools houses/cars they were going to lightly vandalize put Devil's Night on the list of things we couldn't wait to be old enough to participate in. Mostly died out by the time I was old enough to indulge.

There has never been a "Record Store Day" release that I have been slightly interested in purchasing. I think the industry found a way to unload their crap on people who think they are getting something cool.

I didn't even know today was "Travel Tuesday". That could have made the list.

I have a reinvention proposal for Boxing Day that I think would make it very popular.

Catholics believe she is a mediatrix to be prayed to already in heaven which isn't found anywhere in the Bible.
