The 2nd part of On This Day may be more controversial than the 1st. Walking around naked can get awkward and people may be uncomfortable, but most people are petrified when they see a snake. National Serpent Day may not be popular for celebrating living creatures but society certainly seems to like them dead – wallets, belts, boots, handbags and more! PETA probably isn’t a fan of this holiday.
Other Holidays:
- G.I. Joe Day – The real American heros!
- African American Coaches Day – Mike Tomlin may be able to celebrate better than anyone this week!
- Hoola in the Coola Day – what a perfect day to mock the cold!
