We celebrate the unofficial holiday each year on August 27.
You can celebrate this day any way you choose, just because. It
started during the 1950s and has been growing in celebrations
since then.
Every day we all do things that are expected or required of us.
On National Just Because Day, that does not apply. The day is a
chance to do something without reason. How about that person you
have secretly been wanting to kiss; do it, just because.
Possibly you want to
sing really loud while in your car by yourself with your windows
rolled down; do it, just because. I may walk around the block
backward, just because.
Incidentally, August
27 is also National Burger Day in the UK. They probably chose
that day, just because.
Each year on August 27, it is
National Just Because Day and you can celebrate this day
any way you choose, “just because.”
It is an unofficial national
holiday created by Joseph J. Goodwin from California, in the
late 1950′s. It began as a family holiday and has grown into an
annual celebration across the United States.
Today is a chance to do something without rhyme or reason. It
could be that there is an outfit at the mall that you are
admiring; buy it,
just because. Maybe
you want to go fishing; do it, just because. Take the rest of the day
off, just because. The possibilities are endless.
