The obvious choice: Anthony Rintala Observation Day. Although I would be just as happy with deleting the whole Daylight Savings thing. What a waste of confusion. Ponder me instead.

I have a number of private days that I celebrate with joy and sorrow.. I'm a wishy-washy Wiccan and observe the days of the equinox, the days of the solstices and the phases of the moon. More and more frequently as I grow older, a bright sunny day offers an occasion for jubilation.
All of these observations are private. I have no desire--or need--to enforce my calendar on the general public.

Some kind of National Literature Day or something when everyone gets the day off, cooks at home, and reads books to each other. THAT'S a holiday I'd enjoy.

The "people who don't get adequate compensation for the amazing job they do at work so they deserve a day off as minimal acknowledgement of their awesomeness" holiday

A holiday in May would be nice. All the other months seem to have a break or religious holiday of some sort. But that's only through the eyes of a school student. Or perhaps a holiday celebrating a saint or an event. That would be cool too. The calendar already has enough holidays, but one more wouldn't hurt.

They've already got a holiday for every day of the year! Okay, but I guess I would add a day of celebration for the person who invented air conditioning, in honor of his/her contribution to our society.

"The Official Anti-Holiday Holiday" where there are no cards, no celebrations, no parades, no presents, no travel, no special TV programming or newspaper articles, no public recognition, no special sales or price cuts, but most importanly no work / school / or responsibilities.

I would make a day for best friends, a day that you take off from work or whatever you do and spend time exclusively with your best friend. My best friend lives 9 hours away from me, and I don't get to talk to her (or see her) that much anymore, so I would love to have an entire day that I could spend with her going shopping, going to the movies, or whatever. That would probably make me about as happy as Christmas time.
