November 16: Party with a Bear
November 16 is Have a Party with Your Bear Day. Although some sources refer to it as Have a Party with Your Teddy Bear Day, it is not to be confused with Teddy Bear Picnic Day (July 10), Take Your Teddy Bear to Work Day (October 11), or Teddy Bear Day (September 9). Nor is it the same as the Winnie the Pooh Day (January 18).
Bears are mammals that are primarily herbivores, but most of the eight species do occasionally eat meat. The exception is polar bears whose primary diet consists of seals. It is not known when or why Have a Party with Your Bear Day started. However, because all bears spend a period of hibernation, could it be possible that the day was designed to spend time with bears before they began their annual sleep?
Because most sources do not specify the type of bear with whom you are to party, you might want to consider that the Urban Dictionary defines bear as “A term used by gay men to describe a husky, large man with a lot of body hair.” However, when asking to party with a gay colleague, make sure that he is husky as well as hairy. A thin, hairy gay man is an otter. And, to the best of my knowledge, there is no specific day on which to honor otters.
It is not likely that you would desire to party with a large herbivorous mammal who might decide to eat you. Nor might you have time to set up a party with your favorite husky, hairy man. Therefore, your best option might be to invite your teddy bear for a party.
Teddy bears are a ninth species of bear that are not recognized by the scientific community. Their evolution began with the publication of a Clifford K. Berryman editorial cartoon which was published in the Washington Post on 16 November 1902. The cartoon was inspired by President Teddy Roosevelt’s refusal to shoot a bear that had been tied to a tree.
