Random Holiday Calendar: Start Your Year With Cheer!

Let me be one of the first to congratulate you on making it through a week of hardcore celebration between Christmas and New Year’s! Good job! Don’t relax yet, though, because a brand new year of celebrations has just begun. That’s right, it’s time to ring in the new year with a list of crazy holidays to celebrate. As always, for your celebration convenience, I have listed celebration options for each day. So, if you’re not partied out yet or you’ve resolved to make this year a year of fun and celebration, let’s ring in the New Year with some extra fun!
