That could be tricky. For example, on which list would you put New Year's Day (Jan. 1st)? Some people find it utterly useless, while others plan for it for months.

I tend to stay away from the latter group. ;-)

Boxing Day? Guy Fawkes Day? Chinese New Year? Okay, maybe they're not Juneteenth, but come on. ;-)

Then I would need to go find some other useful holidays. Those are often less fun.

Create a "useful holidays" list? I won't be offended if I'm not allowed there.

Ok, so I want to add Juneteenth, but it would seem rather insensitive to put it on a list of "useless" holidays. Any suggestions?

about 1 year ago reesetee said:

Not to worry.

Oops! Sorry reestee. :)

Ah, that's okay--but thanks, AZ. They do take it seriously where they celebrate it, so I suppose it's useless only to the rest of us. :-)

it was reesetee's suggestion.

wow, that's one I'd never heard of. Good one Abraxas.

Amazing how it all started, isn't it?

I was reading up on this again yesterday.

John Frum Day! Well, I don't imagine it's useless in Vanuatu...so maybe not. :-) But it sure is interesting.

Pocky has a holiday?! Dude, sign me up!

about 1 year ago uselessness said: Useless?

This is my kind of list.

Pepero day?
Sounds utterly useless.
