Chaos Never Dies Day

Feel like your life sometimes spirals into a chaotic mess? Then Chaos Never Dies Day on November 9 is the holiday for you.

This made-up holiday encourages people to realize that chaos is part of life and that it will never die. So instead of getting hassled by it, just take a deep breath and let go of things that create chaos in your life on this day.

Chaos Never Dies Day is also known as National Chaos Never Dies Day in the United States.

How to Celebrate?

• Take the day for yourself and do things that de-stress you. Pack your lunch and go for a picnic in the park with your loved ones.
• Watch a feel good movie or read a book.
• Take a nap in the middle of the day and remember chaos never dies, so it can wait to hassle you for one more day.

Did You Know…

…that chaos theory, which is the study of dynamic systems can be applied to many fields of study including mathematics, biology, meteorology and philosophy?

While visiting a friend in the hospital, a young man notices several pretty nurses, each one of them wearing a pin designed to look like an apple.

“What does the pin signify?” he asks one of them.

“Oh! Nothing,” she says with a chuckle, “we just use it to keep the doctors away.”
