Some of these holidays strike me as oddly specific yet esoteric. The other one like this was Hug a Shed and Take a Selfie Day.  Like, why? What stoner sociopath came up with that just to see if anyone would do it?

Depending on the literature you read, this day originated either because people believed that putting bedclothes in with food would bring plentiful food and fertility to the household or because old-timey literal ice boxes required the use of blankets and such as insulation to slow the melting process and make the ice last longer—with the prosperity a byproduct of frugality by stretching your ice dollars.

I am aware of people who like very cold bed accoutrements and freeze their pillows. I don’t know anyone who puts pillows ON their refrigerators. Personally, I can’t do this. For one thing, my refrigerator has a cabinet over it with maybe one inch of clearance. Even if there were room, I still wouldn’t do it; the top of that appliance is super gross filthy.

I do have a minifridge in the bedroom, but that one has a microwave on top of it. (And now you know how incredibly lazy I am; I will not even go downstairs to the kitchen for nighttime snacks.)

Has anyone else heard of this tradition? Have you done it? Did it work?
