Every dog has his day

According to 123Greetings, that day is August 26. When I was younger, we used to refer to these made-up days as Hallmark holidays, since they were clearly started for commercial purposes, and there was almost always a special Hallmark card for the occasion. I don't remember there being many of them, but now there are days for everything. In fact, next week is packed with important days:

Sunday, October 7: Bathtub Day
Bubbles or no bubbles, it's sure to be a great celebration!

Monday, October 8: Tube Top Day
Please take a good look in the mirror before you decide to celebrate this day.

Tuesday, October 9: Leif Erikson Day
A very important day for the 280,000 people who live in St. Paul, Minnesota - probably the only people in the U.S. who know who Leif Erikson is.

Wednesday, October 10: Bring Your Teddy Bear To Work And School Day
In my lab, this day is celebrated year round by a couple of people who have teddy bears at their desk. No lie.

Thursday, October 11: Sausage Pizza Day
Definitely a day not celebrated in the kosher pizza places in New York.

Friday, October 12: Change Your Life Day
Funny enough, it's also Look Back On Your Life Day. How appropriate.

Saturday, October 13: Shampoo Day
For those of you who've been waiting all week to wash your hair, today is your day!
