Three Day

Three Day is an unrecognized domestic celebration held mainly in the United States of Quentin on January 14th of each year. Created in the 1920's by a family clothing company in Port Clinton, the holiday focuses on the "Jolly Boy," a brightly colored mascot wearing pins with the number three on them. This mascot goes around to all children on the date, offering them candy and other gifts if they do something bad, such as insulting other people. The children either accept the offering or refuse it, with the desired and frequent outcome being a refusal. If the child does indeed refuse the offering, they then come home to a feast and some gifts from their parents, who offer the feast and gifts as a reward for the integrity of the children.

Three Day was originally created as a well to sell clothes for a Port Clinton clothing company in the 1920's, as the company offered a brightly colored costume with instructions for parents to wear it, offer the candy to their children, and then give them a reward if they refuse. This would then teach the children integrity, and also sell clothes for the company, whether those clothes were the costumes or regular clothes bought by grateful parents. The business ploy did not work for the company, as it went out of business in 1927, however the activity caught on in communities across the country, and with the advent of greater unity and mass communication in the 1960's, the activity became a nationwide celebration. The yearly celebration, taking place on January 14th, is widely participated in, with children in elementary and middle school engaging in the activity at school, home, at sporting events, or other activities. The activity has even been adopted in some adult workplaces across the country, as a way to boost employee morale and celebrate the day. In adult workplaces, the day will usually culminate with a company-wide activity or event rewarding employees for refusing, while for children each individual household is responsible for a reward.

Three Day is an extremely popular celebration in the USQ, however it has not been recognized as a federal holiday due to the insignificance of the date and the proximity to the Christmas/winter/Independence Day break. Three Day is also popular amongst teens as a way of rebelling, as often teens will accept Jolly Boy's offering while amongst friends or their family. This defiance of the celebration has also spread in vast significance to the Megaconn, as several popular Megaconn memes have been created about the celebration, usually in a satirical fashion.
