Short Person Day
December 22 · Level 3 · #1755 of 2238
An informal American observance that tips its hat to people on the shorter side. The message is simple: nobody needs extra inches to stand out.
How it is celebrated: shorter friends and coworkers get playful toasts, and whatever sits on the top shelf is fetched by someone else for a change. People swap funny stories about step stools and tiptoeing.
The date falls right around the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, so the holiday comes with a built-in astronomy joke.
