Welcome to our series featuring Unique Holidays: November 3rd, 2022. Would you take a look at the Holidays being celebrated today and let me know which holiday you most want to celebrate and why. Charlie and I are going to research Cliches in our Homeshcool Reading Class, Do you have any cliches you can share with us?
Cliché Day– observed on November 3
What are we supposed to do with Cliche Day? There is no information or documentation on Cliche Day. The creator of Cliché Day is not known. As a result, we do not know whether to celebrate clichés and use them often, or whether this is a holiday to refrain from their use. The most likely intent is to celebrate tired, old, worn-out clichés. It certainly is much more fun to celebrate things, than to abstain from them. Ltt’s use Cliche Day to celebrate clichés!!
A cliché is a phrase that is used repeatedly, over and over again. Cliches are often spoken to the point that people are tired of hearing them. In this sense, just about any phrase or saying can become a cliché over time, especially if its use becomes irritating and bothersome.
Common Cliché’s
- If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
- Better safe than sorry.
- Better late than never.
- Cat got your tongue!?
- Don’t get your panties in a bunch.
- Don’t cry over spilt milk.
How to Celebrate Cliché Day
Now that you know what a cliché is, it’s time to have fun today. Try to insert clichés into every conversation whenever you speak. Use multiple clichés in the same sentence if possible. If someone seems to catch on, that’s great! Clue them in to Cliche Day and encourage them to participate in Cliché Day.
History and Origin of Cliché Day
Cliche Day seems to have been created around 2015, possibly a year or two earlier. We found no factual information about the roots of Cliche Day. Nor did we find the originator of Cliche Day, or why it was created.
Some internet websites refer to this as “National” Cliché Day. We found absolutely no documentation confirming this as a true “National” Holiday. There have been no congressional records or presidential proclamation creating this holiday as a national day.
Housewife’s Day – always observed on November 3rd
Housewife Day recognizes the importance of stay-at-home wives and moms. November 3rd holiday is also referred to as “Retro” Housewife Day. These wonderful, caring creatures, build and enrich strong family environments. Housewife help to instill family values and good character. Today, we celebrate and thank all of the ladies who choose to stay home and tend to the house and family!
Housewife is an old term which hails back to the days when one income could support the family in a manner of comfort. It was also a time when women did not have equal rights. While these days are long gone, women’s views of working or staying at home, fall on both sides of the fence. The decision to be a “housewife”, or stay-at-home mom, is still preferred by many. Unfortunately, income needs often means ladies need to go to work.
How to Celebrate Housewife Day
I will celebrate Housewife Day, by honoring my beloved wife and thanking her for staying home for the family during the child-rearing years. Without a doubt, our children grew up much better for it. I benefited from the many sacrifices she made by staying home.
Housewives should kick back and enjoy the pampering that you receive today. You truly earned it.
History and Origin of Housewife Day
We did not find the originator of Hiusewife Day. Nor, did we find any factual information.
We suspect Housewife Day was created by a housewife. By their very nature, housewives tend to stay out of the spotlight. If a housewife indeed created Housewife Day, it would be typical of her not to take credit. The other likely creator is a husband. In this event, he simply wants to tell the world how lucky he is to have his wife.
Men Make Dinner Day – first Thursday of the Month
National Men Make Dinner Day was created for two reasons. First, it is to give the ladies a break from the cooking chores. Secondly, it seeks to encourage men who do not cook, to learn to cook, by making a meal on this Holiday. Of course, even men who do cook should celebrate this holiday by making a meal. For the experienced male cook, we encourage you to make something challenging.
According to Sandy Sharkey, the creator of National Men Make Dinner Day she recognized that most men do in fact cook, but her husband was not one of them. She said, “This holiday is now dedicated to the men who do not know a spatula from a whisk.” Did this cause her husband to respond by cooking dinner for the first time? He sure did! For ladies with husbands attempting to cook for the first time, Sharkey advises: “Just make sure the fire extinguisher is nearby”.
Okay guys, be a sport. Give the ladies in your life a break. Set them in their favorite chair in the living room, put a glass of Wine in their hands, and tune the TV to their favorite “Chick Flick”. Then, grab a Beer, find a recipe and make dinner all by yourself!
How to Celebrate National Men Make Dinner Day
- Guys, cook an elaborate meal while your wife is in the other room relaxing.
- Ladies, sit back and enjoy a glass of Wine.
- Guys, after dinner, you do the dishes.
Dos and Don’ts for Making Dinner

- Take-out and prepared foods are not allowed.
