Singles’ Day
This relatively new holiday, which originated in China, celebrates people who are not in relationships.
Names: Singles’ Day, Double 11
Summary: This relatively new holiday, which originated in China, celebrates people who are not in relationships. November 11 was originally chosen because the number 1 resembles a “bare stick,” internet slang for an unmarried man who does not want to start a family. Now, Singles’ Day is marked with parties for single people and shopping sales both online and in-stores.
What to say: There is no known greeting for this holiday. Celebrate the single people in your life by organizing a get together where they may meet and have fun.
