Bah Humbug Day

December 21, 2026

Grumpy dog with a Christmas wreath around its neck for Bah Humbug Day

Bah Humbug Day, observed on 21st December, is a humorous holiday that gives everyone a chance to express and vent their holiday frustrations. While the season is often associated with joy

and cheer, the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations, endless shopping, and festive obligations can become overwhelming. Bah Humbug Day acknowledges the stress that comes with the season and provides an outlet for those moments when the holiday spirit feels more like a burden than a blessing. Inspired by the famous phrase uttered by Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, this day adds a touch of lighthearted cynicism to the holiday season.

Bah Humbug Day doesn’t mean rejecting the holidays entirely; instead, it’s a reminder that it’s okay to feel a bit grumpy amidst the holiday chaos. By acknowledging these feelings, people can find humour in their frustrations and reset their mindset before fully embracing the festivities.
