Jessolidays

Via Lifehacker, this gentleman has fashioned his own holidays through out the year. They're great ideas, and funny besides. I love this idea! 3/15 – Ides of March. You must speak in Shakespearean English, preferably quoting from the play Julius Cesear as often as possible.

8/9 – The day of surprise. Pick one person you know and like and plan a surprise. Could be a mystery gift package, tickets to their favorite show, or anything cool they’d never expect someone else to do for them.

11/4 – Day of hedonistic glory. All bounds are removed. Eat what you like. Sleep late. Watch movies, really bad movies all day. Laugh as you drive past the gym, with Big Mac, Big Gulp, and Toblorone in hand. All the things you’ve wished you could do should be done: but today only.
11/18 – Day of ascetic fasting and restraint. Do as little as possible. Spend your time in quiet places. Drink only water or tea. If you must eat, do so with great restraint and simplicity. Stay in one place as much of the day as you can. Don’t watch TV or use the computer and consume as few resources of any kind as possible. See how few things you can use or consume in one day.

9/23 – Go somewhere new day. Get out a map, pick a spot you’ve never been to, and drive. No one in the car can have been there before. Pack a lunch maybe or bring some friends. Bring a camera. Send me pictures.

If I were going to add a holiday it would likely be a “creation day” when you set out to complete a big projec tor finish all the little ones you've started. I'd also like a “cooking day” where you make 5-10 recipes you've been meaning to try. A slient day might also be nice where you don't speak to anyone all day and are just alone with your thoughts.

What holidays would you like to have?
