Everyone loves holidays and festivals. But do you know a holiday that is celebrated every month? Yes, it's the only holiday that takes place twelve times a year—Bonza Bottler Day.

Bonza Bottler Day is celebrated once a month when the number of the month is the same as the number of the day (Jun. 1, Feb. 2, March. 3). When the number of the year also matches the number of the day and month (August 8, 2008), there is reason to have a bigger celebration.

Elaine Fermont from America came up with the idea for Bonza Bottler Day on August, 1985. She created it when she realized that there were no special chances to celebrate one month. She decide to give herself a reason to have a party and some fun with this special day every month.

Mrs. Fremont held a competition to give the day a special name, which a student from Australia won. When Australians like something, they might shout,” Bonza!”. The word means super, great or fantastic. And “Bottler"is slang(俚语)for something excellent. So the holiday is known as Bonza Bottler Day.

Bonza Bottler Day has no tradition. You are free to do whatever you want. People in offices and hospitals bring food to share. Bonza Bottler Day is a favorite with many schools because it gives a break to students. The holiday can be Candy Day, Ice Cream Day, Be Kind to Classmates Day, No Homework Day, Picnic Day, and the list goes on.
