United States Edition
World Work Apron Day leads today's complete edition for United States.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for uniforms, aprons, gloves, boots, badges, and the clothes that show people are ready to serve, build, clean, cook, or repair.
Invented by Dan O'Keefe, a writer, and popularized by his son, a writer for Seinfeld. The holiday features an aluminum pole (no tinsel, because tinsel is distracting), the airing of grievances (when you tell your family how they disappointed you this year), and the feats of strength (a wrestling match). It was a joke on a sitcom that became a real holiday celebrated by thousands of people who would rather have a aluminum pole than a Christmas tree.
