How to Create Special Days

"National" Days Definition

Unlucky Day

Date When Celebrated : This holiday is always on December 31

Unlucky Day is today. We sincerely hope it's not unlucky for you. It will be unlucky for some people. It seems fitting that Unlucky Day is the last day of the year. You get the chance to get all the bad things out of the way, do next year will be happy, healthy and prosperous.

For the Record: We do not create special days. We record and report them. And, we definitely are not big on negative days. If we were to create special days, every day would be Lucky Day.

Friday the 13th: Any day when the 13th of the month falls on a Friday, it is considered an unlucky day. This happens from 1 to 3 times in a given year. You would think that's enough unlucky days for a year.

Do you have....  Paraskevidekatriaphobia? If you are afraid for Friday the 13th, an unlucky day for most, then this is the diagnosis.

On this last day of the year, we hope that you have a very lucky Unlucky Day, and that the new year is a very lucky, healthy, and prosperous one!

Today's Quote: "I still believe love is all you need. I don't know a better message than that." - - Paul McCartney

Much is written about Friday the 13th. However, we found no factual information about the origin of Unlucky Day on December 31st. We wondered if it was just coincidence, that when you flip the numbers in 13, you get 31......hmmmmm.

We did not find any information on the creator of this special day. We firmly believe, that this special day was created by someone who was just having a terribly mis-fortunate day.
