Firstly, (ha, grammar) I'm not talking about the Batman villain. Though, creating your own Batman villain would probably be pretty cool. I'd name my dude 'Luke Oliver.' (ha, reference)

Anyway, I was wondering about 'creating' a particular holiday. You know, announcing that it was a holiday, talking to people, whatever. Then I thought 'can I do that?' is that sort of thing... like... were a bunch of perverted people talking about Valentines day? Or was that just florists and Hallmark?'

I was wondering the history of the old holidays, how new ones get created and where I can go to create my own.

Also, you guys could throw out your new custom for Festivus or other fictional holiday that was mentioned in a sitcom that real people inexplicably support or whatever.

I mean there is a Pie Day, c'mon people.

(Also Talk Like A Pirate Day.)
