National Nothing Day

Nothing Day is an "un-event" proposed in 1972 by columnist Harold Pullman Coffin and observed annually on January 16 since 1973, when it was added to Chase's Calendar of Events. It is not actually a "National Holiday," as that requires an act of Congress. Its purpose is: to provide Americans with one National day when they can just sit without celebrating, observing or honoring anything. It is sponsored by Coffin's National Nothing Foundation, registered in Capitola, California.
