Some of them make sense. For example, January is Oatmeal month. I know this was cooked up (sorry!) by Quaker Oats, but January is also a great time to eat oatmeal; we need its warmth. On the other hand, whoever thought to put zucchini-bread day in April was a crazy person. It should come in a month when most Americans have gobs of zucchini in the garden. Happy whatever day it is.......... I agree that it makes sense to look into these holidays a little. Some of them make sense. For example, January is Oatmeal month.

Like, every day it's a holiday for something - EVERY DAY. I like how they sell those "holiday guides" to PR firms, just because you can't keep track of them all yourself!
