    Celebrate Backward Day Jan 31st was my favorite. It was a hoot to write. But I did not write it backwards.

    These all turned out so fabulous and I simply love bizarre holidays! Many years ago on another website (one specifically for writers) I had a line of silly notes you could send out that were based on bizarre holidays, though most I suspect were completely made up. They were so fun though. I'm delighted Squidoo is promoting something to delight the hearts of people everywhere! I liked the Bubblewrap Day. (BTW, the lens I did for National Pie Day is getting a double booking up top ~ just thought you should know. :) Not that I mind, but thought it was unfair to the rest.) Dropped off a Flyby Winging while I was here and I'm off to find a fun thing to do for February! Thanks for the giggles!~Ren

    Thanks! I fixed it. That's a double compliment though. It means someone entered your lens instead of one of their own. :)

    I submitted thyroid-art because January is thyroid awareness month and I did the artwork during my treatment for thyroid cancer and I'm honored to be on this list.

    Good to see my Makar Sankranti lens in the list. Will have to check out other lenses out there. They all look great :)

    Funny that my brother shares a birthday with Thomas Crapper Day. Some element of sibling poetic justice there. :) I had no idea there were so many fun holidays in what might otherwise be the most boring month of the year! Wow! Look at all those lenses!!

    To me it's not a silly celebration at all, but my fave is Elvis's Birthday, of course!
  • RecordLady Feb 2, 2012 @ 12:10 pm | delete
    I enjoyed watching each one show up. Read alot of them. It is really hard to pick a favorite, so much talent.

    I liked Penguin Awareness Day - Love penguins!

    Blame someone else was such fun to make it - it's really a silly celebration! :) But all are wonderful..
  • MillBucks Feb 2, 2012 @ 1:18 am | delete
    My favorite is Bubble Bath Day, Rub-A-Dub!
  • AlishaV Feb 1, 2012 @ 10:56 pm | delete
    It was so fun making my Thank You Month lens, and it's so much seeing so many fun, and goofy holidays! Bookmarking this so I can find this page again next January and get to celebrate each and every one of these!

    I love my lens about Laurel and Hardy's Cuckoo Dancing Week, but there are many here that are so good. Backwards Day is so much fun of course, and at 72 I like the idea of an Unbirthday celebration, then there's answering your cat's questions, etc. I could go on and on, but you get the idea. They're all silly, fun lenses.

    This was fun, and I just figured out how to make my lens intro photo into that perfect square, so I have updated mine with a better photo!

    Making my Backwards Day lens was so fun! I can't wait to create a lens for a Silly Celebration in February! :)

    I like National Bird Day and Rubber Ducky Day.

    I am all for National Blueberry Pancake Day!

    Isn't it amazing how many silly celebrations there are?
  • ohcaroline Feb 1, 2012 @ 8:25 pm | delete
    I liked mine a lot but I think the puzzle day lenses are best.
  • ajgodinho Feb 1, 2012 @ 8:25 pm | delete
    Wow, such a variety of celebrations in January. I thought Nat'l Backward Day was fun! Will have to check some of these lenses! :)
  • Mozaika Feb 1, 2012 @ 8:15 pm | delete
    My favorite is Yes! It's a Hot Tea Month - because I love hot tea!!! :)
  • scarlettohairy Feb 1, 2012 @ 8:08 pm | delete
