Happy National Compliment Day
This has been simmering around for like six months and I have to get it off my chest.
Is there a controller for National Days? Any sort of registry? Any process through which you have a National Day certified? Is there any sort of regulation of "National Days"? Should there be?
I ask because (probably owing to my time spent on Twitter) I've noticed that there's a "national day" for everything. I'm not taking about holidays, or days honoring a particular country's independence. I'm talking about things like National Donut Day, National Hugging Day, National Peanut Butter day, and National Day of Unplugging.
Do people just make up their own National Days and put up a website? Is it usually a commercial event?
I'm mildly curious.
BTW: on a related note, Happy National Compliment Day (You. Are. So. Awesome!). This National Day is my personal favorite and yielded a new rallying cry. YASAAAAAA! (h/t @LilyJang)

It is funny how people have National days for almost everything now, and this trend is starting to infiltrate the International level now, as I have heard some pretty absurd international days being cited by my friends in conversations. Ridiculous!
