Blasé Day
When is Blasé Day? This holiday is always observed on November 25
Are you bored or indifferent with your life and the things you have? Are you unimpressed with all of the excesses your world has to offer? We have great news for all of the apathetic and world-weary folks out there. Today is Blasé Day. Boredom rules the day. And, yawning is in keeping with the spirit of this holiday. On this November 25 holiday, being unimpressed with your surroundings is perfectly okay. Openly expressing your displeasure is okay, too. However, we do issue a caution as you don’t want to come across as a snob when you shun the luxuries your world has to offer. Also, this day should lack excitement.
The word Blasé originated in France in the 1800s. It’s all about being unimpressed or bored with the things you have. And, the more well-off you are, the less likely you are to be impressed by more of them. For example, your next trip becomes “been there, done that”. And, your jewelry box is already filled with glittering baubles and bangles. As you tour a museum or art gallery for the umpteenth time, it is impossible to stifle a yawn.
People normally celebrate Blasé Day in one of two ways. The well-to-do can openly express their displeasure with the opulent and excessive world around them. Those less fortunate can strive to get ahead in the world so they can also enjoy some of the joys the world has to offer.
How to Celebrate Blasé Day
As you go through this boring day, there’s no need to resist stifling a yawn. Rather, it’s in keeping with the spirit of this holiday. Here are some ideas on how you can celebrate and enjoy Blasé Day:
For the Well-To-Do:
- Don’t hold back. Express your disdain for the decadent, over-indulgence of the riches around you.
- Spend the day in a simplistic manner.
- Offer something fun and enjoyable to someone in need. For, example, give them free tickets to a local movie theater, or a play at a theater.
- Become a philanthropist. Donate some of your wealth.
- Museums can offer low-cost or free admission for the day.
For those Less Fortunate:
- Strive to get ahead. Look for a better-paying job.
- Savor and enjoy the limited luxuries in your “have-not” life.
- Look for inexpensive luxuries. Are there any things that are low-cost or free? Perhaps, a visit to your local museum or an art gallery is within your budget.
- Splurge on a fancier restaurant than you normally go to.
