This un-event was created by newspaperman Harold Pullman Coffin and was first observed in 1973. The goal of National Nothing Day is “to provide Americans with one national day when they can just sit without celebrating, observing, or honoring anything.”

One could:

• Focus on the heads/sides or boys/girls and tell the others to celebrate by doing nothing
• Use songs with “nothing” in the title (there are quite a few listed at Hanhurst; I wish I could give you a better URL to take you directly to the results page, but although Hanhurst clutters up other URLs with extraneous info like session-ids, doesn’t give the search parameters in the URL for the search results…unlike Google, where one can easily post URLs for specific searches). It’s too bad I don’t have any.
