Five of the weirdest holidays in America

We all love to celebrate but Americans are masters with creating the most weirdest reason for holidays. I'll present five holidays in America that I consider slightly unusual. 

Take Your Dog to Work Day: June 22

TYDTW Day  was created by Pet Sitters International in 1999 to raise money for charities dedicated to making a difference to the welfare of dogs. The event encourages employers to experience the joys of pets in the workplace for one day to support their local pet community.

You can follow TYDTW Day on facebook. There are many photos and videos from people's work with their pets.

Take Your Plants For A Walk Day: July 27

The idea behind this day is to celebrate plants and provide the opportunity for them to capture the much needed sunlight that they often do not get enough of indoors. This special day was invented by Thomas & Ruth Roy. If you are a plant lover this day is a great opportunity for you and your plant to spend some time together and celebrate!
