What makes Existence Day different than any other holiday? For starters, children will not be lied to about chocolate-bearing bunnies or chubby old men who have a nasty habit of breaking and entering. You will not be expected to gorge or starve yourself. Forget uncomfortable family situations and expensive gifting obligations. The only thing you do on Existence Day is…. Whatever you damn well please. See how these people celebrated their existence.
