stereologist Posted February 11, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2020 http://www.holidays-and-observances.com/february-11.html Today is also ET culture day. http://daysofyear.com/extraterrestrial-culture-day/ As with al things UFO there are sites that just get this day plain wrong. Check this one out. http://lisaswritopia.com/extraterrestrial-visitor-day-other-odd-holidays/ So where did it really come from? https://www.coasttocoastam.com/article/6-aliens-to-celebrate-on-et-culture-day Quote Celebrated every 2nd Tuesday in February, the unorthodox holiday was the brainchild of New Mexico state representative Daniel Foley in 2003. According to his official proposal, which was approved by the New Mexico House of Representatives, ET Culture Day aims to "celebrate and honor all past, present and future extraterrestrial visitors." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but that isn't christmas, and has nothing to do with stories about either the big man who give toys to children or the old bearded man in the sky that judges you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is now, but iirc, that is because some Calendar drift happened over the last 2000 years (especially before we switched to the Gregorian Calendar) and during Roman it was on the 25th (after all it was the major feast day of Dies Natalis Solis, Birthday of the Sun, before it became Christmas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted February 13, 2020 Author #14 Share Posted February 13, 2020 The calendar has changed a lot over time. In the past the first day of the year was March 1. Leap days were added at the end of the year. Now leap days get added into the middle of the calendar year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March Quote The name of March comes from Martius, the first month of the earliest Roman calendar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scholar4Truth Posted February 15, 2020 #15 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Well should they not make an annual appearance for everyone? Afterall the ET's should be able to celebrate as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new way to attract tourists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
