Feel My Cutting Edge: Alternative Holidays


The holidays suck. Corporations have shanghaied the traditional holidays. Hipsters have ruined the cooler holidays by association. College students and other sundry alcoholics overrun any outdoor event or summer holiday. We need some new innovative holidays. Want some holidays fresh from the box and still smelling new? Try this on for size.
The Blessed Rainy Day marks the end of the monsoon season in Bhutan; the date is somewhere in late September, usually between the 22 and 26. This day all the water in the entire country becomes sanctified and all the citizens are encouraged to celebrate by taking a bath outdoors. The water supposedly washes away all the bather’s bad karma. The people of Bhutan on The Blessed Rainy Day collectively bathe outdoors at 4pm.
o Celebration Ideas
o Try giving a party in your backyard for all your friends. Utilize your hose to save money.
o Arrange a block party around a neighborhood fire hydrant in urban areas.
o Try an intimate and adventurous Blessed Rainy Day for two at hot springs.
o Gift Ideas
o A nice body sponge or luffa is always appreciated
o Eco-friendly soaps and body lotions
o Monogrammed towels add a special touch
Have a non-exploited holiday you want to share?
