In my setting, I'm exposed to a lot of people day by day, and sometimes I meet people who are celebrating things I've never heard of before. It sometimes feels like a Spongebob episode, I'm talking to them and they might say something like "we're observing national hat day today" or "we're celebrating Hiawatha Day" (apparently that's August 22nd). How many of you can relate? Have any non-conventional observances (for a lack of a better way to ask)?

Not holidays, but i had a new kid who wore a cultural head covering and the other little kids voted for him for crazy hat day and he won an ice cream sandwich. They were 6 year olds who didn't understand and we didn't know what to do, so we gave him the ice cream.

What did the kid with the headcovering think of it?

He was happy because he got ice cream and kids told him, "I like your hat." This was the second day of summer school and his first day so they'd never seen it before. Luckily it turned out ok.
