Mlp and national holidays

[ManaMinori 4,149]

I find it absurd that "national holidays" like "Answer the phone like Buddy the Elf day, "Ugly Christmas sweater day", "Talk like a pirate day", etc. can exist, but yet no MLP related day (as more widely recognized than it is, in comparison to the "Elf" movie) is not its own official national holiday.

 

There could be "Talk in the Canterlot voice" day, "throw a Pinkie Pie party day", or something. What do you guys think?

Since when did any of those become "National Holidays"? There are only 10 actual federal holidays (going by US here)... everything else is pretty much open for debate on what your personal beliefs and interests are.

 

You can create one. Just start doing it and get people to do it and support it with you. That is how all of these kinds of "odd holidays" become a thing. It is even easier now with social media services to get support for it.

They're not really national holidays but rather days people made up that quickly gained support and became celebrated upon being formally recognized as a special occasion. If MLP were to have a special day dedicated to itself, then you would have to do the same thing for all the other cartoons out there which are greater than or equal to what MLP has contributed.

None of which are national holidays. They're just silly things people do for fun.

 

And why on earth would a cartoon need a holiday? It's a cartoon.

Well, some people celebrate "derpy day" on march the first. So MLP does kind of have a holiday.

I don't really think FIM will ever get one of those.

Most people have HEARD OF MLP, but that does  NOT mean they support the show nor does it mean they would support a holiday.
