Hermit Day

Date When Celebrated : This holiday is always celebrated on October 29

If ever there was a day to crawl into your shell all by yourself, talk to no one, and act like a hermit crab, today is that day. Hermit Day is today. It's a quiet day to spend quietly in seclusion, all by yourself.

For some people, being a recluse is a way of life. They spend everyday by themselves, in peaceful seclusion. For whatever reason, Hermits prefer living away from the crowds and the sea of humanity. For many of us who lead an increasingly busy lifestyle, the idea of being a "Hermit for a Day" is very tempting. The thought of getting away from it all, even if for just one day, is very appealing.

If you are a Hermit, celebrate your lifestyle today. If you're one of the many, who yearn for a break from your hectic lifestyle, be a Hermit on this day. Chill out by yourself where no one can find you.

Spend this day in a secluded area or environment. May we suggest you do so with a good reading book. We hope that no one interrupts your the calm and serenity.

Have a happy, secluded, quiet, and peaceful Hermit Day.
