The Spirit of 4/20, a hilarious new Funny or Die video, gives the stoner day of celebration the Scrooge treatment, imagining a world where Birkenstocks are hung by the chimney with care. While I can’t say I’ve ever celebrated this particular faux-holiday, it got me thinking. We know Crasstalkers do real holidays right, but what non-traditional milestones have you busted out the cake and streamers for? (Or the booze and uncomfortable clothing.)
In my house growing up, we always celebrated my sister’s half-birthday with a trip to the movie theater. What special days have your friends and fam created new rituals for?
*Note: Pointing out that you celebrate a fake holiday every 2/14 since Valentine’s Day was totally created by the industrial greeting card complex is duly noted. Yes, you still need to buy your girlfriend flowers.
