Curmudgeons Day, observed annually on January 29, is one of the sillier days that I\u2019ve included on the Weird Holidays & Observances page. But what\u2019s its story? Who started it and why? And what is a curmudgeon exactly?
\n
\nIn this episode, I explore the unlikely origins of Curmudgeons Day. (Can you believe it pays tribute to a comedian?!)
\n
\nI also take a look at 12 popular curmudgeons from pop culture, and I share some newspaper articles I found about other days devoted to grouches as well as a band called Curmudgeon's Day.
