Grassroots Holidays

I asked Jenny Sunday night what the history of the Labor Day holiday was.

She guessed and was pretty close to how it started.

It really was a pretty grassroots holiday (organized outside government, religion, or major tragedy) that the government then adopted.

I think we should start more of these.

I need ideas.

How about a LFPP Day?

LFPP can't be contained to just one day a year though.

I wouldn't mind a national holiday for it, but I would't want others to then have the excuse to withhold me from celebrating it on other days.


For those of you who don't know, "LFPP" was the name of a club me and my best friend created in college. It stands for "Laziness For Productive Purposes" where we realized that spending a day doing nothing alone was laziness, but spending a day doing nothing with another person created friendship bonds for life.
