International Mother Language Day was established by the United Nations in 1999, "to promote the preservation and protection of all languages used by peoples of the world."
Card Reading Day was created, presumably by a greeting card company, as a day for reading cards. Of course, you should probably send some as well.

Presidents' Day is celebrated on the third Monday of February. Scholars dispute whether the holiday is meant to honor just Washington and Lincoln, or all of the U.S. presidents. Sadly, many Americans merely view the holiday as an opportunity to miss work or school.
Holiday Whiz best advice: Send greeting cards to U.S. President Barack Obama and United Nations President Joseph Deiss, scribbling multi-lingual comments in each.
