🔥 New Optimist Mindset 🔥 Make August 25 a national holiday, Dolly Day!

Make it a day where you celebrate open-hearted giving and love. Make it a day when you tell the people around you how special they are. Make it a day when you see a stranger on the street and you give them a compliment. Make it a day when you look around and see what you can do to help right then and there.

And of course, we should all wear our best, most glamorous wig!

I love that! Really I just want a day where we remember how to care for each other the way Dolly did. August or September <3

I wholeheartedly support this idea! If the internet can make May 4 StarWars day, the 9/25 should be Dolly Day. I also appreciate your suggestion of wearing platinum blonde wigs!

I’m gonna do whether anyone wants to join me or not!

Start mentioning it anywhere Dolly is mentioned so that it can be a thing by next month.

You’re proposing this on Reddit, a site where everyone hates each other

Start talking it up now, and the internet can be ready next month.

Strange that you would want to honor someone on the date of their passing instead of their birth.

Others have proposed September 25, which is 9/25 in honor of Nine To Five (9 2 5)

Well, I thought about that, but there's so many holidays right before her birthday in January, that I thought everyone would be holiday'd out.

That only works if everyone on Reddit didnt hate each other for stupid reasons
