National Boss Day

According to another website, National Boss Day is always celebrated on October 16th, which this year happens to be on a Monday. If the October 16th date falls on a weekend then it is celebrated on the closest business day.

It is a day for employees to celebrate how nice their bosses have been to them. It was originally only celebrated in the United States but has since branched out to other countries as well.

According to Wikipedia this holiday started when Patricia Bays Haroski registered National Boss's Day with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in 1958. She was working for State Farm Insurance Company at the time and chose October 16 because it was the birthday of her loving boss, her father.

It is customary to give one's boss a card or small gift.

Hallmark has their own special line of National Boss Day cards.
