National Regifting Day goes legit!

Posted by Kim McGrigg on 11/3/2008

Yesterday's mail contained a very official looking document from Colorado Governor Bill Ritter proclaiming December 18 as National Regifting Day! (No, you don't get the day off work! In fact, you should throw an office regifting party on that day.)

Here is what the Proclamation says:

NATIONAL REGIFTING DAY
December 18, 2008

WHEREAS, it is practical for consumers to reduce their financial burdens and environmental impact during the holiday season; and

WHEREAS, regifting is accepted as a way to save money and avoid debt as well as spread holiday warmth; and

WHEREAS, due to reduced consumption, the impact on the environment is limited during the holiday season; and

WHEREAS, the third Thursday of December is commonly recognized as a regifting day in offices where co-workers identify and exchange gifts; and

WHEREAS, the State of Colorado recognizes National Regifting Day for its environmentally friendly goals and for its intensions to reduce the financial burdens on the families of our state;

Therefore, I, Bill Ritter, Jr., Governor of the State of Colorado, do hereby proclaim December 18,

NATIONAL REGIFTING DAY

GIVEN under my hand and the Executive Seal of the State of Colorado, this twenty-fourth day of October, 2008

Bill Ritter, Jr.
Governor

We?ve sent requests to a few other states, so I?ll let you know if we hear from them!
