Every month has its share of bizarre and weird holidays, some official and others that won't get you a paid day off at work. And it's those unofficial holidays that are the most fun.
January offers a month long celebration for the following: National Bath Safety Month, National Blood Donor Month, National Braille Literacy Month, National Hobby Month, Hot Tea Month, National Oatmeal Month and National Soup Month.
And there is a week long celebration for Letter Writing Week that occurs the second week of January.
So…let's move on to the daily holidays of dubious origin.
