April Needs Better Holidays

Or: Why I refuse to celebrate National Pigs-In-A-Blanket Day

April is probably noteworthy as a month that needs better holidays, if only because Tax Day probably causes more emotional duress than all the others combined. Sure, much like Christmas, Easter is fun for the kids, but tends to be a little exclusionary. So here are some other exciting April holidays for you. Ironically, it’s Autism Awareness Month. I say ironically, because some victims of Autism may not know it’s Autism Awareness Month, but would be able to tell you what day of the week it starts on in the year 2093 . Also of note is Administrative Professionals’ Day, the only holiday I can think of that exists simply because no one wants to be a secretary any more. And although you’d think caring about the Earth would be an ongoing concern, April 22 is Earth Day. Lastly, if you’re really desperate to celebrate something, the The American Farm Bureau Foundation has a list of holidays including everything from National Cheeseball Day (April 17) to National Pigs-In-A-Blanket Day (April 24). Happy Holidays!

Someone told me that it was Grilled Cheese Sandwich month, but the link you gave says it’s only Grilled Cheese Sandwich *day* on April 12. I like “month” better.

I’m sure the American Dairy Association would prefer “month” as well. Why don’t you propose a campaign? I bet you’d get free cheese out of it…
