All our holidays are validated with sponsors or organizations.
We do not have holidays for every single day of the year.  Sites that do, IMHO are making days up.  Beware!
Also, some observances that are validated through website links, can't be updated until their websites update their 2008 information.

Visiting us is free! Our Holiday information is free.   We have always paid all costs and remained ad free as well.

Full Moon on  the 18th  is called "Buck Moon" by Native Americans of New England and the Great Lakes because at this time of the year, the new antlers of the buck deer begin to appear. It's also called the "Thunder Moon" due to all the summer storms.
