National Absurdity Day
November 20th
Although the origins of National Absurdity Day are unknown, it is felt it was begun by philosophers known as “Absurdist” who dealt with the chaos between an individual’s search for meaning in their live and the disharmony of the meaninglessness of one’s life. However, for most people the day has come to symbolize the invitation to do something wacky on this day. It is a day when you can be silly or zany in what you wear or the actions you do.
