Q: Are these real holidays?
A: Yes, the holidays and observances listed on this site are real.
They are checked and verified.
Q: How do you verify your holidays and observances?
A: I use many different published sources, as well as the Library
of congress, and the National Special Events Registry.
The U.S. House of Representatives announced on
December 1994, that Congress would no longer officially recognize special
days, weeks, or months sponsored by associations, corporations, or
individuals. This is when the National Special Events Registry was
formed .
Q: What browser do you recommend
for viewing this site?
A: I highly recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer. While this site was
designed with all browsers in mind, it works best with Internet Explorer.

Q: Why do you have ads on every
page? They're annoying!
A: While the ads my appear to be annoying, they are very necessary to
the continuation of this site. This site runs on a "FREE" basis.
The ads are what helps us keep this status. This site is done in my free
time. I am a mother and I run several websites from my home. So like many
of you my time is limited. Much of the cost to run this site comes from
the ads. But most months it is not even close to enough to cover the sites
overhead. The rest comes from my pocket. I do this to keep the site free
for all. Without the ad revenue I would have to close down the site.
My intention when starting the page was to keep it free for all to use.

Q: All these ads are driving me
nuts.
A: First, you need to be specific on "all these ads". While
to some, one ad can be "all these ads" while others may be
talking about 10. If you are seeing more than the occasional pop
up/ under on the site you may have a spy ware program on your computer. If
you are getting hit with 3+ popups a page, then you most definitely have a
spy ware on your computer. These ads are not coming from us, our keywords
are just triggering them. You can download a free copy of Ad-Aware to get
rid of these hidden programs. http://www.lavasoftusa.com

Q: I am having trouble printing.
When I print all I get is the ad.
A: Unfortunately this sometime happens with certain ads. But it is
fixable. Either you can use one of the ways to print above, or you can
simply refresh button on your browser. Another ad will appear. Then you
should be able to print.
Q: This ad does not seem
appropriate for this page. What do I do?
A: I have set strict guidelines for the type of ads Holidays For
Everyday will except. The short version of our guidelines are no
pornographic, casino, or betting ads. I do make every attempt to check
each and every ad that is placed on our site by our ad agency. However
sometime I will miss one. If you find an ad that slipped by us and our
filtering system, please email and let us know so we can take care of it
ASAP. I will need details. So when email please be as specific as possible
about the ad.
Q: The print is too small to
read, what can I do?
A: We set our print at a standard small print to accommodate all
browsers. Again the answer to this question depends on your browser.
Microsoft Internet Explorer:
Using the tool bar at the top, press on View. This will bring a new menu
down. Then press text size. A menu will open to the side. You can pick
your text size from there.
Netscape:
Using the tool bar at the top, press on View. This will bring a new menu
down. Then press increase font as many times as needed.

Q: Your site is great but it's
not enough. I need more Holidays.
A: This site can only be as great as the visitors make it. While I
know of many holidays there are still I don't know about. If each visitor
sends in the holidays they know about, we should be bursting with new
holidays in no time. To share an title go here.
We just ask that you check and make sure the holiday is not already on the
site. That will save us all a lot of time.
