A’Phabet Day Or No “L” Day
A’Phabet Day Or No “L” Day is a holiday that’s observed every year on December 25th. This holiday is basically a pun on the word Noel—a word that’s used during the Christmas Season. Every time you say the word Noel, you’re basically saying “No L”. That sort of makes this holiday the “Dad Joke” of all of the holidays that we’ve done so far.
Of course, since the holidays are such a stressful time for many people, injecting this pun into it might make the season just a little more bearable. So, if you want to celebrate this holiday, then be ready with the pun and be sure to avoid using the letter “L” on this day.
