What is the "CG Calendar"?

On the front page of the CG forums there a calendar with upcoming events and birthdays and holidays.

What is CG?

A typo.  I have a lot of stuff to fix in the next few minutes

I voted Patriots Day because it's unique to Massachusetts. Though I forgot about Thanksgiving.

Oh, and I voted for UN Day, mostly to irk Eja.

I can't even tell you how irked I am that you did that. I mean I have been irked before but that is the irkiest thing anyone has ever done to me

I think Patriot's Day is unique to New England and Wisconsin, but close enough.

Butter Side Down Day? Celebrated on both sides of the wall?

[Cman]

D-Day, because it is my birthday (June 6, for those not in the know).  And no, I was not born in '06...

I amend my vote to Leif Erikson Day (October 9).

Nah, just Mass and Maine. But we were one in the same at one point, so I guess you can consider it "unique" to Massachusetts.

Wisconsin lets there kids take the day off from school, I think. I'm pretty sure in ME and MA some workers get the day off, too. Regardless, Wisconsin shouldn't be allowed to honor the holiday at all

Ok this should settle some things

I had no idea that Black Friday and Buy Nothing Day are the same day.

I also did not know

"Confederate Memorial Day, also known as Confederate Decoration Day (Tennessee) and Confederate Heroes Day (Texas), is an official holiday and/or observance day in parts of the U.S. South "

Wow. Eenteresting. How this escaped the summer arguments we had is beyond me.

And the official flower of Grandparent's Day is the Forget-me-not. Oh you can't make this stuff up unless you're the guy who decided that

That reminds me I was going to see my grandma tomorrow

International Clown Week

 

I voted for Thanksgiving...Family & Food

glad to see I was able to push Thanksgiving to first place (with two votes now). 

Gotta love football and turkey and gravy with mashed potatos.

[Fafnir]

And now UN day has tied it lol.

Personally I don't have a favorite holiday, just a favorite time of year. The Fall has football/basketball/my birthday/thanksgiving so its my favorite time of year.

New Years - Only important to me if I'm at a bar in Canada
Valentine's - I'm a lonely toaster for a reason
An equinox or solstice - Not Important
Groundhog Day  - Worst holiday ever
International Clown Week - Redz would love this, I'm sure.
St. Patrick's Day - Not Irish, but I like Guinness
April Fools - Hate it, I'm too gullible on that day for some reason.
Earth Day  - I'm not a hippie.
Cinco De Mayo - Only celebrated once or twice in Spanish classes
Mother's Day - Couldn't even tell you when it is
Memorial Day  - Only for my grandfather
D- Day - When is this, again?
Fête des Mères - What?
Father's Day - Not close with my father.
Independence Day (July 4) - Hells yes
Labor Day - I'll leave that one to my girl and my mother.
United Nations Day  - No, thanks.
Halloween   - Candy, candy, candy. And a new Saw movie.
Veteran's Day - Again, only for my grandfather.
Thanksgiving  - I do love a good turkey once a year.
Christmas - And Presents are always ok with me.
Hanuka - Never celebrated
Kwanza - Same.
Columbus Day - I don't celebrate the genocide of a people, let alone my people.
President's Day - meh
MLK Day - He was a great man, for sure.. I can't say I personally celebrate it, though.
Patriot's Day - Meh
Mischief Night - Call me a vandal, I call myself an artist.
Leif Erikson Day - I'll leif your erikson.

So, with all the crossing out and heavy thought. I'm going to take the easy route and say Christmas because I like presents.
