I’ll be the first to admit that while I rolled my eyes when I saw Facebook was promoting a National Drink Wine Day, I was also a little excited. This gave me a reason to have a glass (or two of wine). We live in the United States. Our duty is to celebrate National Holidays. No way in hell was I going to skip one, especially one so dear to my heart.
I heard I missed National Margarita Day. First of all, who came up with this idea in the middle of February? Obviously, someone who doesn’t live in the Midwest and still sporting a winter parka. I’m saving this holiday for a hot summer night. With or without Facebook, this one is going to be celebrated with my girlfriends, sitting outside while the kids run crazily through the yards.
These holidays got my wheels turning. What if we all got to create our own national holiday? Would the country be a better place? Would we toss our holiday out on Facebook and expect others to participate? Would anyone be willing to celebrate with me if I declared National F*#k You Day? Yes, you heard it right. National F*#k You Day.
Imagine that you ask someone a question and you don’t like the answer you were given. F*#k You. The latte I ordered is only seasonal? F*#k You. Your husband comes home and you've busted ass all day on the house, to which he asks what you did all day? F*#k You. Text message from a friend upset who won't have a real conversation? F*#k You. Not sure if my daughter’s name is feminine enough? F*#k You. Neighbor who is too arrogant? F*#k You. The possibilities are endless.Before you get your panties in a snit, think of the positives a National F*#k You Day would have.
When your boss tells you he needs the deadline met on the big project, F*#k You. Your co worker that won’t shut up about her bladder control problems? F*#k You. The receptionist everyday who you speak to but doesn't speak back? F*#k You. You’ve instantly helped an unemployed individual gain a job. Yes, it might be your job that you were just fired from, but the point is you’ve helped with the unemployment rate all with a mere two words, while also celebrating a National Holiday.
Are you ready to celebrate!?!? F*#k You if you aren’t.
