It already exists! Years ago, a Florida DJ named Jack Harris created "Leon" on June 25th. Why Leon? It's "Noel" spelled backwards.

June 25 is already my wedding anniversary, so the general idea works well for me. (Although I guess this makes Christmas Day also my un-wedding anniversary. Hmmm.)

This will never take off. It's too much like the rest of the year.

someone suggested negative thanksgiving... surly that would be where any native amaricans send envolopes full of strange and new illnesses to the western world?? I'm all for Negative Xmas, Esp the trout faced bar steward bit. Would love to do that where i work, would make me feel soo much better. Instead of school holidays kids have to attend EXTRA school leaving some free time to their parents who would normally be busy buying presents and taking them screaming to see santa. God Save Scott Adams!

I'm afraid this will be abused to make everybode a bit more normal (aka mainstream) and eccentrics, geeks, dorks and nerds will be prominent victims. Imagine if everybody who knows you takes away one of your favorite weird objects... horror! On the other hand, I think Scott deserves to get a new holiday for his birthday, but I hope he reconsiders. HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU MAGNIFICENT WEIRDO!

I posted links back to this blog entry on Facebook, several environmental blogs, Dave Gilmour's blog (he's into replacing trees - me too BTW) and elsewhere 'round web, so hopefully this'll catch on beyond the Dilbert social network. Perhaps a Facebook group and MySpace page, too?

My spouse has this boxing punch-bag that he's owned for 15 years but never used. He won't sell it, or donate it to the local gym. It's first on my list! How about calling it X-Xmas. Actually can't we just take over Xmas - it's a better name for our idea anyway.

I like the idea, not sure I like the name. When I was in the Army in Germany, I had a commander that loved Christmas and celebrated it in the summer. He called it "Leon" (Noel spelled backwards). I always liked that. So, if we can go with "Leon" I'm in. I do need to ask, will their be an airing of the grievences and feats of strength?

I'm in, but if anyone tells me to get rid of my wookie they will get punched in the face!

Happy negative christmas! Now give up the keyboard you use to type up these ridiculous ideas.

i think this is one holiday where everyone would be in to giving, but not too keen on receiving.

I'm in! Especially the part about planting a tree and saving money instead of blowing it! ~ManDee

Funny you should mention this. Several female friends have commented recently that they're glad their husbands are going away so they can ditch a bunch of his stuff. Is it just me, or does that seem a bit cruel? Surely an intelligent being can decide what crap to save and what to get rid of? Especially with the aid of his wife, who is surely more unbiased than he... I still remember my father's face when he discovered that my mom gave away his favourite (and truly atrocious) chair--eerily similar to the look the dog gave us when he came home from the vet after being neutered.

Sounds like a Festivus for the rest of us!

Hmm, Happy Negative Valentine. The possibilities are endlessâ€¦.Am thinking more mildly, like letting all the air out of your old girl/boyfriendâ€™s tires remembering that they broke your heart.
