Welcome to our series sharing Unique Holidays: September 15th, 2021. Take a look at the Holidays being celebrated today and let me know which one you most want to celebrate and why. Charlie and I plan on making a hat in our Homeschool Art Class. Would you like to come make a hat with us?
Make a Hat Day is a day for fun. Design, make, and wear the hat. Include your own design and personality when creating the hat. If you wanted to you could make a hat from a character you would like to imitate for a day.
This Holiday is popular with preschool, kindergarten, and grade school teachers and students. Early in the school year, teachers look for fun and interesting projects to break up the classroom routine, or for Art projects. Kids, who love Arts projects by Nature, can use their creativity in making a Hat.
The rules for Make a Hat Day are quite simple. Make a hat, any hat which can be for you, or for mom or dad. Wearing the hat is optional but part of the fun.
Felt Hat Day – On this day, men traditionally put away their felt hats.
Felt Hat Day is today and on this day, men traditionally wear a Felt Hat and yes,, women can participate in this Holiday, too. They just have to have a Felt Hat.
Back in the early to mid 1900s, hats were popularly worn by both men and women because hats were stylish. At that time, Felt was a common material for men’s hats. With cooler Fall Weather approaching, the guys went to the coat closet and dusted off their Felt Hats , and began to wear them.
Celebrating this Holiday is easy…. wear a Felt Hat which can be of any style, as long as the material is Felt. No other hat material will do.
Today is also Make a Hat Day
Yom Kippur – begins at sunset, date varies
A piece of news for you: Many Jewish Holidays begin at Sunset. Some internet websites record this Holiday on the first full day, while others sites state the date when it begins at Sunset.
Did you know “Yom Kippur” means “Day of Atonement”. Appropriately, people set aside this day to atone for the Sins they’ve committed. It is a day of Prayer, Fasting, and a time to attend the Synagogue if your Jewish. Did you know Jewish people will also not work on this Holiday, one of the most important days in the Jewish calendar. During Yom Kippur, people seek forgiveness from God, and seek to give and receive forgiveness and reconciliation with others.
Yom Kippur always occurs ten days after Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah are the only Jewish holidays that do not have roots in a Historical Religious event.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
