As surprising as it may seem, the lists have been shortened. I've excluded weekly holidays, monthly holidays and moveable holidays. So if you want to fill in the blanks, Mr. T, feel free, seeing as you are one of the only people reading/commenting on these posts (I guess everybody else just don't dig on holidays)

"Hi, welcome to Politics and Awareness! Would you like to try our politically politicized Politics or just stick with political awareness?"

Just contributing to the overall goal of jubilation this month by giving more reasons to celebrate on a singular-day basis (I mean come on; who wouldn't celebrate Ice Cream Day? ).

Pitching in is a good thing; I'm not trying to derail your thread, Mr. S.

Derail? Furthest thing from my mind, Mr. T. Bon Renaissance!
