By Susan Dawson

The unofficial days are not traditionally marked on calendars. These days can be celebrated worldwide, nationally, by groups or even by individuals.

A person who is interested in starting their own day of celebration should not get worried because there are several ways of achieving this dream. The most common avenue is through the government or the United Nations Organization. A person makes a formal application for the day to be recognized by the state they are. The applicant should make sure that they are not in any way discriminating any persons while making their application.

It is advisable to record the events of the day for remembrance. By record, a group can be able to share the events and get support from other people. A person should be very clear to other people about the importance of the day.

People have their own reasons of creating these strange celebrations and should be respected. The most important reason being an anniversary of a certain significant factor in the lives of many. Some those are not official capture events that have been ignored. Another reason of having these commemoration days is for the intention of having a good time.

There are many weird national holidays all over the world. Some of these days can be found on calendars and even on the internet. Most of the commemorations are not celebrated by everybody officially. However, there is no valid reason for the celebration of these strange days.
