Newsie Days


Okay, so I get this e-mail that lists a holiday for every day of the year. There were a lot of cool holidays but also some boring ones. Anyway, some of us got the idea that it would be cool to have a Newsie holiday for every day of the year! They wouldn't be completely official or anything, but we still thought it was cool. As you can see, there is a holiday for every day now, but if you want to send one in still, go ahead! No problem with having a few days with two holiday! :) Also, send in your birthday if you want!. If you have any to add send them to dolphins_echo@hotmail.com. Thanks!
