Weird National Holidays Are Everywhere

By Anita Ortega


There are so many people in the world who like to celebrate things that are different from anyone else. Everyone around knows that weird national holidays truly exist and they have been around for quite some time. People who are living in the United States really love to take the time to spotlight all of these occasions.

Southerners like to celebrate Confederate Memorial Day each and every year. They know that this is one date that they can actually brag about their ancestors who were involved in the Civil War. This special date is recognized on a variety of days during the year.

People who travel during the spring and summer months will realize that states like Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee all respect this day. Everyone proud individual around will place their confederate flag upon the porch and wear certain uniforms.

Unfortunately the date will also separate the races since black people do not like Confederate Memorial Day. They state that this date represents all of the negative things that went on in history. The Civil War was fought by the north to end slavery but southerners disagreed with this action.

Unfortunately so many Caucasian humans within the United States are not interested in the feelings that other people display. If you are different from them in any way at all they do not respect your thoughts. Despite any negativity all agencies under the state will close their business for one day.

The government even ignored the many protests that were held by black individuals living in the south. They felt that it was important to have this event recognized by everyone living around the southern region. The fighting has finally ended when it comes to this certain date and many people have never heard about Confederate Memorial Day. Only state employees will quietly take this day off from work.

On February 13th people have the right to change their name for twenty four hours. Human beings who are not satisfied with the name that their parents gave them at birth will always like this day. Sometimes parents do not think about the horrible names that they are giving to their child after they are born and this is very unfortunate. Within American society there are some very strange names that are given to babies in hospitals everywhere. Many black people try to be different and will call their children African names after they are born.

Middle children are often ignored by their parents since all attention usually goes to the eldest or youngest. On August 12th the child born between these two can become the center of attention. It is often stated that the middle child is always the most special one within the group and this date proves it. Everyone around knows about the middle child syndrome which can be very negative. The child in the center will usually receive used clothing from the oldest while the last sibling will get a brand new wardrobe. Also children in the middle have to become more self sufficient as time goes by.
