15 Offbeat Holidays You Can Celebrate in September
September brings back-to-school season and summer�s end, but there are plenty of unusual things to celebrate this month.
1. September 3rd: National Skyscraper Day
After Labor Day, you can honor the construction workers and engineers who built the world�s modern architectural wonders. One European real estate data company defines a skyscraper as at least 330 feet, while in the United States a building starts to qualify around 500 feet. But, really, any building that towers above its skyline can count if you�re looking to do some gazing in your hometown.
2. September 4th: Eat an Extra Dessert Day
You may have observed this holiday a little early on Labor Day, but go ahead and indulge those residual gluttonous impulses because this holiday gives you the green light. That leftover pie isn�t going to eat itself, so really, it�s the least you can do.
3. September 6th: National Fight Procrastination Day
One of these years we're going to get around to celebrating.
12 more at the site. My favorite happens on September 19th:
9. September 19th: Talk Like a Pirate Day
The establishment of International Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19th was based on someone�s ex-wife�s birthday. While the date selection might have been arbitrary, the possibilities of TLAPD are endless. If you want to expand your pirate repertoirrrrrr, the official website provides lingo in English, German, Dutch, and even a little Mandarin to provide a truly international annoyance to coworkers and family members.
Time to pop open a P.B.Rrrrrrrrrrr
