Theresa MyFixitUpLife National Chair Day

Why should there be a national chair day? I’ve got several reasons, and some of them make sense.

‣ MyFixitUpLife Theresa MyFixitUpLife National Chair Day — I’m dreaming about National Chair Day. I hope you’ll join me.

National days of celebration fascinate me.

There are days to celebrate cereal (March 7), tossing fruitcake (first Saturday in January), step in a puddle and splash your friends day (January 7), blame someone else day (first Friday the 13th of the year), worship of tools day (March 11), weed appreciation day (March 28), national tape measure day (July 14), and my favorite National Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19).

I’ve looked and looked through the lists, and I have yet to find a day to celebrate the chair. I see two options: someone shares the unofficial-official National Chair Day with me, or we create one.

My reasons for a National Chair Day:

1) Chairs help me from having to sit on the ground, allowing me the possibility to eek out a second wear of my pants.

2) Chairs can be stunning pieces of art. I can stare at an amazing chair — let’s talk nailhead trim, tufting, colors — for hours.

3) Chairs are used for almost everything: eating, sleeping, reading, and dancing (chair dancing, really).

4) Chairs might be the most versatile member of the furniture family: collapsible, inflatable, and sometimes weather-resistant.

I love chairs.

So I’m thinking the National Chair Day should be the day after Labor Day, the day we sit down after our kids are safely off to school. I think many of us spend a lot of time that day being grateful that we only have to go to work.

I haven’t forgotten about your passions. If you want to discover a favorite ‘national day,’ check out a National Day Calendar. Even though there are days that are recognized by many of us on Twitter and Facebook, the majority of these days on the list are ‘unofficial’ national days. Still, ‘days’ like the pie day (January 23) and apple pie day (May 13) have been celebrated for years.

Any why not? It’s just fun to celebrate Ice Cream Day on July 20th or Bathtub Party Day on December 5.
