Wave All Your Fingers At Your Neighbor Day ~
Wave All Your Fingers At Your Neighbor Day
I have no idea who created this holiday, nor do any of the sites that I looked at in research, but I have a strong suspicion that it was my friend Avery. He’s a real peach. 😉
For the most part, I really like my neighbors, especially the ones who are my direct neighbors. It’s some of the other neighbors, the ones that live further down the street that I might be most apt to greet in a less than five fingered fashion. But I never do that. I am more of the icy glare type person. I have to keep things classy, you know.

For all you angry neighbors out there, February 7th is for you! After all the drama and arguments and challenges we and our neighbors have endured, its time to put down that middle finger and raise the rest.
…Um, I know I stink at math, but doesn’t putting one finger down and raising the rest give you a 4 fingered wave? No matter, that is probably still better than waving one *special* finger at the neighbor. Unless, of course someone thinks you are flashing some sort of gang sign. Or your neighbor thinks you are just popping an upside down bird to be a smart alec.
At any rate, in the spirit of the holiday, give your neighbor a hearty hand wave today {with ALL your fingers raised}…and maybe even force those muscles on the sides of your face to curl your lips up into more than the usual grimace. You can do it!
Happy Holidays!

Luckily I live in a neighborhood where we seem to get a long for the most part but these are mostly the people who never come out to say hi. I love that this is considered a day though. Its awesome!
Haha! I couldn't resist when I saw Mr. Cash in the first photo. Luckily, here in the South, we don't see much of that, especially from our neighbors. :)
Too funny - good idea to say hi to neighbors. We hiberate in the winters, it is good to keep friendly
Too bad you couldn't find the origin, I always get a kick out of these 'unofficial' holidays.
Me too! Maybe if it's a newer holiday, one day they will see this and let us know. :)

With my neighbor, I'll stick with the salute.
Hahahaha!

We don't know our neighbors too well - But they're all super nice. When I actually do see them, which is rare {our houses are all a ways apart from one another} - I definitely give a sincere wave and smile! :)
You would be an awesome neighbor. :)

Another wacky holiday...sweet! Lol
We get along with the neighbors on our block that we know of. The rest of the houses seem unoccupied or maybe their inhabitants are hibernating for the winter. I dunno. I am going to try to use the all finger wave in traffic this evening! LOL!
I've never heard of this special wave at your friends day.
Thankfully I have some fantastic neighbors in this area. I like them all. I don't have to worry about being irritated by any of them.
That is awesome! You never know - when people move it always scares me, lol.

My neighborhood is pretty friendly. Love these fun "holidays."
