My Way Day, celebrated every February 17, is a fun celebration urging us to live life authentically, unapologetically, and to play by our own rules without fear, and why not? It’s your life and hey, you’ve got just one to live. Call the shots! Although the national holiday’s history isn’t documented, My Way Day is said to be a brainchild of actor Thomas Roy and his writer Ruth, who both run Wellcat Herbs and Wellcat Holidays. Can you believe the pair have created more than 70 copyrighted special holidays celebrated in America? Super impressive right? Dive in! History of My Way DayMy Way Day proudly takes its place amongst at least 79 other special days created by American film, television, and voice actor Thomas Roy and wife Ruth in “Chase’s Calendar of Events” (the country’s go-to calendar for special events). Hollywood actor Thomas Roy is known for films such as “12 Monkeys” (1995), “The Answer Man” (2008), and “Night Catches Us” (2010). The annual publication, which was launched in 1957 by brothers William D. Chase and Harrison V. Chase, includes special events, holidays, federal and state observances, anniversaries, and much more. After tirelessly gathering information on events, the first edition of “Chase Calendar of Events” was born — 2,000 copies of the 32-page document were published in 1958. It was sold for just $1. In 1983 Contemporary Books, Chicago, Illinois, came into the picture and took over publication 1983. Four years later, the Chases retired from single-handedly doing the compilation, handing it over to an in-house staff of editors and researchers. From there, the publishing changed when in 1993, Contemporary Books was acquired by Tribune — it was sold to McGraw-Hill Companies in September 2000. From McGraw-Hill to Rowman, the Littlefield Publishing Group, and now the highly renowned Bernan Press. The “Chase’s Calendar of Events” plays host to many hilarious lighthearted fun holidays such as National Have a Bad Day Day (November 19), where you pick just that day to do the twist wishing someone ‘Have A Bad Day’ instead of the overused traditional ‘Have A Good Day’; and Satisfied Staying Single Day ( February 11), an annual empowering celebration dedicated to celebrating the glories of being contently badass all by yourself without the baggage of a relationship or a significant other among others.
