National Frappe Day : More
chilled foam-covered coffee drink
The holiday inventors were asleep on this day. I could only find three. I would suggest that if you are going to invent your own holiday, you assign it October 7.
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Frappe Day'. No this is not a prognostication of how tomorrow will be for you. Nor, is it a comment on your hair. We are talking abut the chilled foam-covered coffee drink that was created in Greece back in the 50's.
Tomorrow is 'You Matter To Me Day'. A nice comment to tell someone you respect or love. And you sure matter to me. I need someone to read this stuff.
Tomorrow is 'Bald and Free Day'. Some say the 7th, others the 14th, but I needed a third holiday, so I choose the 7th.

From Wikipedia: "Cumberland College, a school in Lebanon, Tennessee, had discontinued its football program before the season but was not allowed to cancel its game against the Engineers.[1][2] The fact that Cumberland's baseball team had crushed Georgia Tech earlier that year 22–0 (amidst allegations that Cumberland used professionals as ringers) probably accounted for Georgia Tech coach John Heisman's running up the score on the Bulldogs, Heisman also being the Engineers' baseball coach.[1][2] He insisted
on the schools' scheduling agreement, which required Cumberland to pay $3,000 ($65,018 in inflation-adjusted terms) to Tech if its football team failed to show. So, George E. Allen (who was elected to serve as Cumberland's football team student manager after first serving as the baseball team student manager) put together a team of 14 men to travel to Atlanta as Cumberland's football team."
