When I moved up to Canada, we watched a lot of the Buffalo, NY news because we live ina âborder townâ and the other closest local news was in Toronto⊠Which ainât local to me, especially, when it comes to the weather.
So they used to talk about Dyngus Day and I hadnât a clue as to what it was so I looked it up.
Come to find out it was the earliest event of the âWet T-Shirt Contestâ.
âDyngus Day traditions can be dated back to 966 A.D., when the Polish Prince Mieszko I was baptized, signaling that all of Poland was now a Christian nation. The idea of purification through baptism was eventually turned into a fun event, where boys would soak girls with buckets of water.â

My favourite holiday isnât obscure - itâs Halloween everyday to me - creepy stories read by Youtube peeps like Killer Orange Cat, stories in all forms. A little spookiness to make the day less dreary.
Yup. International Cat Day is August 8th, this year.
My favorite obscure holiday is Chu-seok. Itâs a Korean holiday and something interesting or fun happened every single time that time of year. A group of friends got invited to spend the holidays with different families. Then the day before leaving, suddenly all their grandmothers were sick so they were uninvited and shouldnât come. So we hung out together. But if you make it to a family, if youâre male, you get to laze around all day while the ladies cook for hours. Then everyone eats tons of food and drink alcohol all night. Another time was all the people uninvited by host families went partying out at a cabin out in the wilderness then hiked up a mountain in the morning, while hung over, before going home. Aaaaah. So many fond memories of everyone having a full range of emotions. Happy, sad, angry, passed out⊠Not to mention all the karaoke. Chu-seok is supposed to be a family oriented holiday, but for us it turned out to be a hang out with friends holiday.
Hello, what a great giveaway! There are so many games to choose from here!
My favorite holiday has to be Halloween, yeah Iâm being a normie, but it was the time that the best movie from my childhood, Halloweentown, came out. I donât care if itâs trash to you Halloweentown will always be 10/10 in my books.

1.The King of Fighters
2. Homeworld remastered collection
3. Sniper Ghost warrior trilogy

My favorite holiday is Leap Day! Not sure if itâs technically a holiday, but itâs just such an interesting phenomenon of how we measure time combined with our calendar system. Thatâs my two cents anyway.
Thanks for doing this massive giveaway and sorry for the late entry, but I gave it some thought
I donât respect holidays in general. Probably my favorite one is easter, because we are orthodox here and Iâm an atheist and probably you can guess where this is going. You can get plenty of fun when itâs accepted to have a greeting: one person says âJesus has risenâ and the other needs to reply with âTruly he has risenâ or something among those lines. This opens plenty of options for the reply like for instance: âSo, you saw him then?â and âAre you talking with him right now?â. Never gets old
Oh yeah, I almost forgot that for some stupid reason we boil the eggs and we paint them in different colors and we have a ritual to choose an egg and fight another personâs egg by knocking them⊠Itâs probably something for the kids ⊠I donât even want to know who thought this was a good idea.
Thanks for the giveaway. My favorite holiday is Lunar New Year since its one of the few holidays my family celebrates. Also, thereâs always a lot of food that evening
Sick giveaway bro. Iâm not entering but iâd like to share a strange holiday/festival I discovered called Tinku âPunch Your Neighborâ Festival.The Bolivian tradition began with the indigenous belief in Pachamama, or Mother Nature. The combat is in praise of Pachamama, and any blood shed throughout the fighting is considered a sacrifice, in hopes of a fruitful harvest and fertility. Because of the violent nature of the tradition there have been fatalities, but each death is considered a sacrifice which brings forth life, and a donation to the land that fertilizes it.The brawls are also considered a means of release of frustration and anger between the separate communities. Tinkus usually last two to three days.During this time, participants will stop every now and then to eat, sleep, or drink.
