#7: Stuffed Animal Day

One time, there was a young girl who nearly died in a car accident, and she was actually saved by the stuffed animals her mother had bought her that day. The state of Minnesota was so stunned by these little lifesavers, they decided to create a holiday dedicated to the plushies- June 4th, National Plush Day, in which the whole day is dedicated to plush animals of every kind. It doesn’t really matter what kind of stuffed toys they are, they just need to have some sort of cotton or beans inside them. People around the nation can celebrate by decorating their house with large various animals and other fluffy items, such as pillows and blankets. You may also get out streamers of blue and white and decorate the house with those. On National Plushie Day, you are able to give gifts and provide many other people with happiness and good cheer. There are various parades on this occasion, and it usually falls on the last day of school. The kids usually take this day and make it a sort of party day at school, and many a time, the teachers join in as well. On this day, there are also quite a couple of specials on the TV. After the incident with the child, many teachers decided to dedicate the school day to teaching children about the safety of driving and being in the right seat in the car at times. Not only is National Plush Day one of gift giving and happiness, but it’s a day to learn about car safety issues. I think that seems fair enough to be a holiday.
