Nov 28 – Thanksgiving
28 NovI figured I can’t top last year. Sure, I’m celebrating this year. I even bought the naming rights to a can of green beans that will go to feed the homeless (www.namesforchange.org) because I’m so thankful I’m in a position to give back. But this pilgrimage to the pilgrim land last year is what got this whole Holidaily thing started. I felt I should try to celebrate every holiday as all out as this one.
Nov 26 – Shopping Reminder Day
26 NovTV is filled with them now. People like me making ads to remind people like you to go spend money on things you don’t need instead of celebrating the things that matter: friends and family. But I actually would hate to work on a Black Friday ad. It’s more like Black Plague Friday. As much as I love this ad, I can’t celebrate shopping reminders like this especially when stores are opening on actual Thanksgiving Day. We should be reminding people to talk instead of shop because that 72 inch TV bargain won’t replace a night of sitting around the table trading war stories.
In fact, this article perfectly sums up my feelings about this ridiculous Black Friday trend.

Nov 24 – Unique Talents Day
24 NovIf you can invert your body and spin around like Sonic the Hedgehog, I’d say your talent is unique.

Nov 23 – Dr. Who Day
23 NovThis show that has recently had a resurgence is the longest running show of all time. It has been on (and off) for 50 years now and it has a genius plot device, the actual Dr. Who changes every so often. Not like James Bond where you’re supposed to pretend a new actors is the same character. No. Somehow it’s part of the plot for this to happen.
