National Opposite Day is celebrated on January 25 of every year. It is an unofficial holiday when every action is modified so that the meaning is negated. The children commonly celebrate the day, and rarely does it last for the entire day. The reason for creating the day is still unknown, and some of them say it comes from the playground game. The children commonly celebrate the day by asking silly questions to each other and reversing the answers. Hence it is a perfect day to celebrate by doing everything in the wrong way.
