How to Create a Holiday Many people ask "Just how does one go about creating a "Day"? That is a great question. How to Create a National Day A truly "National" day is literally an act of Congress and takes a lot of work. I checked into this issue with a company who wanted to create a national day and had the resources to do it. They decided it was "too much work". The first step is to contact your local congress person. Once you have their attention, you have to create the proposal and hopefully it will get onto the congressional agenda before too many years has passed. If you are intent on doing it and have the patience, it can be done. The President of the United States can also issue a proclamation declaring a National day. President Ronald Reagan was fond of issuing these proclamations.  Important: Anyone can add the word "National" to a day that they are created. It is perfectly fine. However, it not a true "National: day in the sense that neither Congress nor a sitting President has declared it. We feel that this distinction is important, as it takes a lot of effort to get Congress or the president to proclaim it. Other "Days" are created by companies, special interest groups, local governments, sports teams, and others by simply declaring it so. I include card companies in this category, especially Ecards. It seems some of these "days" are created because there isn't anything going on a particular day, and the card companies need something for every day of the year. The vast majority of these are local, one-time events that do not capture much attention and are soon forgotten. Official or not, a number of these take hold, and show up year after year. At least one individual or company has created a number of humorous "days". They created the day, copyrighted it (believe it or not, it's true), and then wrote a book describing them. These "days" were created simply for profit. For more information see: How to Create a Nationl or Internatonal Day Also See: How to Create National Days Did You Know? There are literally thousands of holidays, special events and observances, more than one for every day of the year. Many new holidays are being created on a very frequent basis.
