No News is Good News Day is a holiday that’s observed annually on September 11th. This is a day that celebrates the common phrase: “No news is good news.” This is a saying that basically assures us that everything is all right since we don’t have any information that contradicts that position.

It’s a day to breathe a sigh of relief when we open our mailboxes and notice that we don’t have any mail. That means that we also don’t have any new bills! In other words, it’s just a day to be positive for once and to push away the affliction of doom and gloom that many of our brains continuously process.
