World Pass Gas Day

When is World Pass Gas Day? This holiday is always observed on January 7

Today is a holiday to toot about. And, it’s a real stinker of a day. It is World Pass Gas Day. You may also know this holiday as Fart Day. This January 7 holiday is celebrated with giggles and laughs every time you or someone else breaks wind. It’s a natural body function that occurs multiple times a day. Everyone does it. So, why shy away from celebrating it? Let’s change the culture and etiquette we normally follow. Just for today, let’s giggle and laugh every time someone let’s one rip!

It is perfectly proper to pass gas in public today. So, come on. Don’t be shy. Get over your inhibitions and rip one off. You can’t see it. You might not hear it. And, sometimes you can’t even smell it. What you eat determines whether or not, your release will clear the room.

Do you want to be a stinker today or not? Sulphur gas is what smells when you rip one off. It’s only 1% of the total emission. But, boy it can put out a stink. Your digestion system produces it. If you want to avoid the offensive aroma, do not eat cruciferous vegetables or beans. Cruciferous vegetables are members of the Brassicaceae family. This includes arugula, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, Bok choy, Chinese cabbage, collard greens, kale, mustard greens, radish, and watercress.

Call it What You Will

Call it what you will. But, a fart is a fart. In today’s society, there is a stigma about the word “fart”. Many people consider it a dirty and stinky word not to be spoken out loud. Still others humorously encourage the use of this word.

Here are some of the common substitutes we use in lieu of calling a fart a fart:

Pass gas
Break wind
Rip one
Rip one off
Cut one
Cut the cheese
Let one loose
Let one go

The World Fart Championship

Since ancient times, farting has been a comedic topic. It is the subject of countless jokes and much laughter. However, the folks in Utajärvi, Finland take the subject a little bit more seriously. In 2013, they held the first World Fart Championship. Needless to say, it was a huge, stinking success. So, it was an easy decision for the folks in Utajärvi to make this an annual event.

We encourage everyone to make plans to attend the next competiton. It you are a flatualist, enter the contest. You’ll likely compete with the likes of Mr. Methane, Old Fart, and Phartman. Before you go, spend a little time creating a moniker. And of course, practice your release. It is important to have ear-shattering volume, longevity, and resonance.

Looking to break the world record!? On May 11th, 1972, Paul Hunn from Flint, Michigan broke the world record for the loudest fart. It was 118.1 decibels. And, the length was also a world at 2 minutes, and 42 seconds long. It’s only fitting that you attempt to break this record on World Pass Gas Day. And, let us know who you did.

Benjamin Franklin Was Fond of the Word

Many notable people in history used the word “fart”. Benjamin Franklin was particularly fond of using it. One now infamous essay by Benjamin Franklin is now titled “Fart Proudly”. In 1781, he wrote a letter to the Royal Academy of Brussels. At the time it was one of the most respected scientific organizations in Europe. In the letter, he asked: “Why are you putting absolutely no effort into figuring out how to make my farts smell better?”

William Shakespeare also enjoyed talking about them. He included the topic in A Comedy of Errors.

History and Origin of World Pass Gas Day

In 2013. the first World Fart Championship was held in Utajärvi, Finland. This holiday was created shortly after as a direct result of this fun contest. Our research has not yet identified who created the holiday. We suspect it was someone in Finland. No one on our staff is fluent in the Finnish language. So, we were unable to research websites in Finland.

Practically every other internet website and article about this holiday refers to it as National Pass Gas Day. However, the roots of this holiday originated in Finland. And, everyone in the world passes gas. They do so every day. So, it is only fitting that this holiday is World Pass Gas Day.

As for those who call this holiday National Pass Gas Day, there is no presidential proclamation or act of Congress proclaiming this a national day.

Sure, the holidays have you stressed out to the max. There’s so much yet to do before the big day. But, you need a break. It’s time to have a little holiday fun. Today is that day. It is Ugly Sweater Day. Some people incorrectly refer to it as National Ugly Sweater Day. On this December holiday, we encourage you to make a fashion statement. Put on the ugliest sweater in your closet. Wear it with pride all day and night long. Better still, hold a party where everyone can show off their gaudy and revolting sweaters.

They say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Well, when it comes to Christmas sweaters, little holiday eggnog helps to improve their good looks and allure. Interest in ugly sweaters begins as soon as the holidays arrive. It reaches a crescendo during the holiday party season just before Christmas. Ugly sweater parties and contests abound. Then, it disappears with the start of the new year. People who receive a gaudy sweater as a holiday gift might wear it once in front of the “gift” giver. Then, it is hidden as far back in the closet as possible. It will remain hidden until next December arrives.

One wonders who creates these warm, yet abominable sweaters. The likely culprit who comes to mind is your dear, sweet grandmother. Remember in your childhood, Grandma knitted sweaters for you. Your loving and doting Grandmom decorated them with everything imaginable. And, you couldn’t wait until you outgrew them, only to find another hideous sweater from her under the Christmas tree next year. Did Grandma really think the sweaters were cute and adorable? Or, did she know what she was doing.? After a few years, you realize that “Sweet” little granny is really “Sinister” little granny.

The History of Ugly Sweaters

In the 1950s, Jingle Bell sweaters became a fashion trend. However, no one knows why, this trend evolved into the ugly sweater. By the 1980s, ugly sweaters hit the fashion market. Dr. Cliff Huxtable on The Cosby Show on television, and Clark Griswold on the classic movie Christmas Vacation the main stars wore these sweaters. This fueled their quirky popularity. By the 1990s, the ugly sweater craze began to fade. Then, it came roaring back in the early 2000s, thanks to several movies and television shows where characters wore them.

In 2002, two men from Vancouver, Canada created Tacky Sweater Day. It was created as a fundraiser to raise money for a friend’s cancer treatment. Over the next ten years, the name of the holiday evolved into Ugly Sweater Day. In 2012, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson officially proclaimed Ugly Sweater Day as an annual event.

The popularity of Ugly Sweater Day grew exponentially. Grandma was not the only one to make them. Thanks to consumer demand, stores began to sell them. Nowadays, people strut around the office and shopping malls proudly displaying their gaudy, garish, grotesque, and unsightly sweaters. Ugly Sweater parties abound, complete with prizes for the ugliest ones. They are auctioned off in charity events. And even nighttime talk show hosts joke about them. They have skits giving them away. Certainly, everyone gets in on the fun.

Almost all ancient cultures developed a form of cake. Among them are ancient Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Chinese, and Norse cultures. It is believed the Egyptians were the first to make them at least three thousand years ago. The Chinese make a special “Mooncake”. China holds an annual Chinese Moon Festival or Mid-autumn festival where mooncakes play a prominent role in the celebrations. The word “Cake” evolved from the Viking Old Norse word “Kaka” around 1200 – 1300. When the pilgrims arrived in the New World, they found Native Americans making baked maize cakes called “appone” or “ponop”. They made them with ground corn, water, and salt. Modern cakes date back to the 1700s.

Over time, cakes became associated with a wide variety of ceremonies and celebrations. We enjoy them at weddings, anniversaries, and birthdays. We bake them to celebrate important events, milestones, and accomplishments. And, of course they are so good, we make them any day of the year just because they taste so good.

Moreholidays November Blase Day

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? Then, 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 becomes impossible to stifle a yawn.

People normally celebrate Blase 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 Blase 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:

First and foremost, 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:

All in all, 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.

World Science Day for Peace and Development

About World Science Day for Peace and Development

When is World Science Day? This holiday is always observed on November 10

Science is a world of discovery. It offers countless benefits and products to mankind and society. Certainly, discoveries and breakthroughs in science make our everyday lives much better. And, sometimes, science leads to weapons of war, and results in not-so-great benefits to mankind. Today is World Science Day for Peace and Development. The United Nations created this November 10 holiday to encourage us to better understand science. Accordingly, it encourages us to use science for peaceful means and to aid in world development. While they are lofty goals, we certainly should use science to benefit man and his world.

Was the discovery of fire and the wheel sheer dumb luck? Or, did science come into play? We won’t debate this question. However, clearly science has benefitted mankind and society for thousands of years. It leads to the discovery of life-saving medicines like the polio vaccine and penicillin. It creates useful products like our televisions and cellphones. We use scientific discoveries to drive to the grocery store and to blast off to the moon.

Scientific research and discovery come along at an ever-increasing rate. Scientific breakthroughs lead to tomorrow’s technology. The technology in turn leads to all kinds of new products. It obsoletes yesterday’s similar and more limited products. And, without a doubt, over time the new technology becomes more and more complex. It is getting harder and harder to understand the advanced scientific discoveries. It takes a scientific mind and degree to comprehend how and why it works. Many of us only know that a product does indeed work, Yet, we don’t understand the basics behind it.

Today’s scientific study and discoveries are tomorrow’s technology. This holiday was created to encourage us to better understand the science behind it all. Each year, UNESCO publishes a new theme for the year.

How to Celebrate World Science Day for Peace and Development

Without going back to your high school science classes, there are fun and easy ways to celebrate World Science Day. So, here are some ideas:

Companies, organizations, and governments are encouraged to develop educational programs centered around the theme for the year.
Primary and High School teachers are encouraged to create classroom science projects.
Run a scientific project of your own during today. You never know, you might become an inventor.
Research the science behind some of the products you use.
Consider a career in a scientific field or in research.
Subscribe to a science magazine.
Donate to a non-profit scientific organization.

Today's Quote

“We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.” – – Carl Sagan

It is an annual holiday. The objective of this holiday is to highlight the important role science plays in society and our lives. The UN promotes active public debate on current scientific issues. For example, emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) is both good and bad. It is important that we know the issues and understand the concerns.

Pumpkin Toss Day

About Pumpkin Toss Day

When is Pumpkin Toss Day? This holiday is always observed on November 3

A few days before Halloween, you lovingly carved out pumpkin faces. After that, you placed the Jack ‘O Lanterns on your front porch and lit a candle inside on Halloween night. Then, they glowed with pride! However, a few days after Halloween they are now coated with black mold on the inside. And the Jack O’ Lantern’s face is sagging a little more each day. Sadly it’s time for them to go. Pumpkin Toss Day comes along at just the right time. On this November 3 holiday, we toss them out before they turn into smelly mush on the porch.

The primary objective of this holiday is to toss carved pumpkins, as they are quickly rotting on your front porch. You can also toss uncarved pumpkins, too. However, they are an important part of the Thanksgiving scene. So, why not keep some uncarved pumpkins to decorate the inside of your home and your yard? Afterwards, you can toss them on the day after Thanksgiving. Then, the Christmas holiday decorations go up and take center stage for the rest of the year.

On this holiday, you are encouraged to find ways to play with them one last time. We offer some ideas in the next section below. Then, it’s time to say goodbye. If at all possible, avoid sending them to the waste stream. Rather, look for ways to dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way. Pumpkins are eco-friendly.

Today’s Band Selection: Smashing Pumpkins, an American rock band from Chicago.

Pumpkin Kind of Holidays

It comes as no surprise that there are several pumpkin-related holidays. And, they are not all in October. You can, and should, enjoy them all!

Canadian Thanksgiving Day – Pumpkins are a big part of this holiday for our friends up north.

Carve a Pumpkin Day – It’s always a fun day as we make Jack ‘O Lanterns and munch on roasted pumpkin seeds.

Halloween – Naturally, it’s a pumpkin kind of day.

Pumpkin Destruction Day – A similar, yet different holiday.

National Pumpkin Day – Have a little pumpkin pie with your shipped cream.

National Pumpkin Pie Day

Pumpkin Cheesecake Day

Pumpkin Spice Day – It’s in many foods and drinks all Fall long.

Thanksgiving – They are a huge part of the Thanksgiving season.

How to Celebrate Pumpkin Toss Day

We encourage you to celebrate and enjoy Pumpkin Toss Day. Use this holiday as one more opportunity to play with pumpkins before you dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way. Then, when you are done, so is the Jack O’ Lantern.

Here are some ideas:

Put a candle inside and light it up one more time.
Feed the deer. Simply, place them where the deer will find them. If they come through your backyard, place them there. Then, watch as the deer chow down!
Hold a Pumpkin Toss party. Literally toss them. Give a prize to the person who tosses them the farthest.
Place them into a composter to feed your garden plants.
Let them rot in your garden.
If you do not have a garden, give them to a friend who does.
Donate healthy, uncut and unblemished pumpkins to your local zoo. Elephants, rhinos, and hippos are among the animals who eat them.
Take them to your town’s recycling center.
Use uncarved, healthy pumpkins in a recipe. Find Pumpkin Recipes.

“It is not the strongest pumpkin grower that survives, not the most intelligent, but the grower most responsive to change.” – – Charles Darwin, Theory of Pumpkin Evolution

“I never met a pumpkin I didn’t like.” – – Jack B. Little

History and Origin of Pumpkin Toss Day

Bob Matthews from Rochester, NY, and owner of Holiday Insights, created this holiday in 2025. The main goal of this holiday is to toss away Halloween pumpkins before they rot into a smelly mess. According to Matthews, the objective of this holiday is to have fun with pumpkins one more time as we toss them out. He discourages tossing them in the trash can. Rather, find ways to dispose of them in an environmentally friendly way.

Matthews chose the date of November 3 for this holiday because just a few days after Halloween carved pumpkins are already showing major signs of decay.

This holiday is similar to, yet different from Pumpkin Destruction Day, which is celebrated later in the month. That holiday is a little-known event. Matthews goes on to say that a carved pumpkin would be mush by the time this holiday comes along.

Finally, Matthews said the ultimate destination for pumpkins should be back into the environment. They are environmentally clean. If possible, they should never go into the waste stream.

This Day in History

In addition to Pumpkin Toss Day, here are some things that happened on this day:

Haunted Refrigerator Night

About Haunted Refrigerator Night

When is Haunted Refrigerator Night? This spooky holiday is always celebrated on October 30

As we approach Halloween, is any place safe from ghosts, demons, and paranormal activity!? Apparently, not. As Halloween night nears, ghosts are haunting pretty much everywhere you look. Today, the night before Halloween is Haunted Refrigerator Night. The title of this holiday suggests a nighttime haunting. However, we have it on good authority that refrigerators are haunted during the daytime, too. On this October 30 holiday, it is imperative that you stay out of your refrigerator. Who knows what evil lurks inside!? And, you certainly don’t want to open the refrigerator door and let loose the demons and ghosts that are hiding behind the moldy cheese in the back of your refrigerator. And, you never know, there could be all sorts of ghoulish creatures in there, too.

Refrigerator ghosts and demons tend to hide in the back of the refrigerator. They like to hide behind week-old leftovers and moldy cheese. When the door is shut, they emerge from their hiding places and frolic throughout the refrigerator. If you open the door quickly, you can catch sight of them. But, don’t let them out! Slam the door as fast as you can. If these lost souls get out of your refrigerator, it’s all but certain they will find a way out of your home, too. Then, they will turn your community into a ghost town by Halloween night. And, that’s tomorrow night!

Important Note: The garlic in your refrigerator will not protect it from ghosts and demons. However, it will keep vampires out of your refrigerator.

Today’s Favorite Movie: Ghost Busters (1984)

Everyone’s Favorite Ghost: Casper the Friendly Ghost.

How to Celebrate Haunted Refrigerator Night

Do you really want to celebrate Haunted Refrigerator Night!? You’re better off staying in bed under the covers all day and night, hiding from ghosts and other ghoulish creatures. If you are brave and choose to venture from the relative safety of your room, here are some ideas on how to celebrate and enjoy this eerily spooky holiday:

First and foremost, keep your refrigerator door shut.
Put a lock on the door. It protects unsuspecting or forgetful family members from accidentally opening the door.
Post a large sign on the door, with a skull and crossbones.
Catch the phantoms in the act as they frolic around. On the night before, place a motion-activated video camera in your refrigerator. You can watch the live, make that “dead” action.
Tempt fate. Hold a ghostly party and invite all of your friends. Open the refrigerator door and leave it open during the party.
If they get out of your refrigerator, immediately call Ghostbusters.
Exorcize your demons. Call your priest to perform an exorcism.
If you see an apparition of any kind, try to get a picture of it.

Note: Completely emptying the refrigerator the night before will not eliminate these phantoms.

National First Responders Day

About National First Responders Day

When is National First Responders Day? This holiday is always observed on October 28

First responders are a special kind of people. During a crisis, a tragic event, or a medical emergency, the general public is largely helpless to assist. But, these brave souls are there to help us. Often, their assistance is not without risk to themselves, too. For example, a firefighter risks his life running into a burning building to save someone trapped inside. Today is National First Responders Day. This October 28 holiday recognizes the important role they play in society. And we honor them for their courage and valor. Their vital jobs are tough. But, at the same time it is rewarding. On this day, we give thanks and recognition for being there when we need their help. It is a day to show our appreciation for all that they do.

First responders are a very special kind of person. Many types of people and jobs are first responders. They can be paid positions. Or, they can be volunteers who do it out of a sense of duty to the community where they live. If you’ve ever come upon an accident, crisis, or tragedy, you see the average person running away from the trouble area. This is not what you see first responders do. They are the brave men and women who run TOWARDS the calamity. And, many of these selfless individuals are volunteers. These volunteers offer their time and services without monetary rewards.

Who are First Responders?

We commonly think of three very important categories of first responders. They are:

Firemen and Women – These first responders run into a burning building to put the fire out, and to save your life. They do this despite often dangerous conditions.

Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) – EMTs are the first medical support at the scene of an accident, fire, or other tragic event. These highly skilled and trained individuals can put a band aid on a minor cut, or apply a tourniquet to slow the dangerous loss of blood from a major wound, Also, they perform life-saving CPR and resuscitation.

Policemen and Women – When shots are fired, members of the police force run towards gunshots. In doing so, they save many lives. But, at the same time, they put their lives at risk.

Many other types of people and career fields are first responders in some capacity. Here are some of them:

Good Samaritans – These are regular people like you and me. They come upon someone in need of help or in distress. And, they act to help them. Often, they do so with little regard for their own personal safety.

Security Guards and Personnel – From banks to concert events, security personnel are there to protect us. And, they also are first on the scene to assist us when trouble arises.

Doctors and Nurses – “Is there a doctor in the House?” Doctors and nurses possess medical and life-saving skills. They readily use them when present at an accident scene or any medical emergency.

Boy Scouts – You may wonder about Boy Scouts being first responders. But, they are trained in basic first aid and CPR. Many times, these young men have saved lives and performed first aid until professional help arrives on the scene.

Ways to Celebrate National First Responders Day

It is very easy to participate in National First Responders Day. Here are some ways how you can show your appreciation:

Express your thanks directly to these vital, life-saving support personnel. Some day they just might save your life or the life of someone you love.
Bring a cookie tray or donuts and bagels to your local firehouse or ambulance service.
Restaurants and coffee shops can offer free food and coffee to first responders.
If you see them at a coffee shop or in a bar, pay for their drink.
Put lawn signs in your front yard giving them recognition.
If you’ve ever been the recipient of their service, tell your story on social media and express your thanks.
Consider becoming a volunteer firefighter or EMT.
Donate to a volunteer fire or ambulance service.
Take courses in first aid, and CPR.
Defibrillators are located in many public places. Learn how to use one. While it is very easy to use, you are better prepared if you are trained to use it before an emergency arises.

Today's Quotes

“Be Prepared… the meaning of the motto is that a scout must prepare himself by previous thinking out and practicing how to act on any accident or emergency so that he is never taken by surprise.” – – Lord Robert Baden-Powell

“The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more.” – – Jonas Salk

History and Origin of National First Responders Day

On May 18, 2017, U.S. Senators Tom Cotton and Elizabeth Warren, and U.S. Congressional Representatives Michael Capuano, Elijah Cummings, and Mark Meadows brought a resolution to a joint session of Congress. The resolution was to create National First Responders Day to recognize and honor their unselfish dedication to aiding others in times of tragedy. It swiftly passed. Now National First Responders Day is an annual event held on October 28 each year. Every year, the President of the United States issues a proclamation for this holiday.
