Who makes up these "national" days?
Like who decided today was "National Siblings day?"
And National Puppy Day?
And National Margarita Day?
And National Barbershop Quartet Day?
Who? Who has that kind of power and authority?
And before social media did these days exist?
I just want to know how I can get a day like this through the system.
I have a few I want to implement.

National Sibling Day
Date When Celebrated : Always April 10
National Sibling Day is a day to appreciate and cherish your brothers and sisters. Siblings are truly a special blessing that we probably all too often take for granted. They are often our best friends and supporters through life. Another reason to celebrate is that not everyone is lucky enough to have siblings. Their lives are significantly different growing up, and throughout life.
National Sibling Day is similar to Brothers and Sisters Day, which is celebrated on May 2nd.
Origin of "National Sibling Day":
Claudia A. Evart, President and Founder of this day, initiated National Sibling Day after the tragic deaths of her brother and sister.
Twenty two state governors have issued proclamation on this day. President Bill Clinton has supported it. However, we are not aware of any presidential proclamation or an act of congress making this a true "National " day.
More wacky days and their origins are here:

I was wondering the same thing? And is it just me or do these days seem to happen more than once a year? I feel like Siblings Day and Pet Day happen multiple times a year!

Yesterday was National Only Child's Day and I actually enjoy it because I get to recognize my daughter who's an only child and she feels special we celebrate her.

I have never heard of this nor would I even know when it was. It's not on any calendar that I see.
And I have an only child as well
I feel like these days are just popping up.
Someone has to be making them up.
Do you need an executive order to declare a "national" day?
I wonder what the process is.

Re: Who makes up these "national" days?
You can actually pay to have a day created. I'm in PR and it's a stupid tactic that gets thrown around often in activation brainstorms.
