Do you have that relative that gives you presents for every holiday, no matter how inconsequential? Sure you do. Every has that relative. Or some variation of that relative. "Hey, an Arbor Day present! Awesome!" Most of the time, its not even a present, but like a card. Because we all need to have cards for awesome "Holidays" such as Earth Day, or Flag Day or my personal favorite, Groundhog Day.

Not to go on a side note... but while researching this topic, I found this list of ACTUAL RECOGNIZED HOLIDAYS:

Carl Garner Federal Lands Cleanup Day (First Saturday after Labor Day) - observed in the United States to encourage nationwide citizen participation in the cleanup of federal lands.

Citizenship/Constitution Day (September 17th) - recognizes the ratification of the United States Constitution. It is observed on September 17, the day the U.S. Constitutional Convention signed the Constitution in 1787. The law establishing the holiday was created in 2004 with the passage of an amendment by Senator Robert Byrd to the Omnibus spending bill of 2004. Before this law was enacted, the holiday was known as "Citizenship Day". In addition to renaming the holiday "Constitution Day and Citizenship Day," the act mandates that all publicly funded educational institutions provide educational programming on the history of the American Constitution on that day.

National Day of Prayer (1st Thursday in May) - a day when all Americans regardless of faith are asked to come together and pray in their own way.

White Cane Safety Day (October 15th) - celebrates the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired and the important symbol of blindness and tool of independence, the white cane

Law Day & Loyalty Day (May 1st, these are TWO different "holidays" ) - On May 1 the United States celebrates Law Day, U.S.A.. It is meant to reflect on the role of law in the foundation of the country and to recognize its importance for society. Loyalty Day is observed on May 1 in the United States. It is a day set aside for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom.

Leif Erikson Day (October 9th) - Leif Erikson Day is a United States observance occurring on October 9. It honors Leif Erikson, who led the first Europeans known to have set foot on North American soil.

I swear I'm not making this shit up...I found all this info online.

So the next time you get a shitty present or a stupid card...remind your idiot relative they missed a few holidays.
