What is Thomas Day?


Thomas Day is, in short, a celebration of humanity (by focusing particularly on that part of humanity whose name starts, ends or includes "Thomas). On this day, Thomases from around the globe join together to contemplate their shared contribution to making this world a better place. It is, therefore, not a time for self-agrandizment but rather a time for Thomases to look around and recognize what they can offer the world, to take satisfaction in what they have already accomplished and to committ themselves to try a bit harder, to give a little more.

Thomas Day is also an opportunity for all individuals with the first, middle or surname of "Thomas" to join together in fraternity and fellowship. From the charter drawn up by the Thomas Day Committee on the inaugural celebration in 2001, "one of the primary goals of this celebration is to further develop associations and networks with other Thomases." We encourage free and frequent socialization among Thomases of all nationalities, disciplines, ages, genders and families. Let us be an example to the world of the amiable associations and brotherhood that should exist among all mankind. Our common unity as Thomas should never exclude others of different names, rather we would treat every Jane, Dick and Harry as if they are our own brother and sister.

Thomas Day 2015 approaches

Thomas Day is rapidly approaching!  2015 is a Thomas Day celebration year  -for those of you not yet familiar with the celebration of Thomas Day, it is celebrated every other year.  This demonstrates the lower position of our celebration and in deference to other more universal events like Christmas, Independence Day, Easter, Memorial day, individual's birthdays, anniversaries, etc.  While we think it important to celebrate the common condition and contribution of Thomases, we are quick to acknowledge our relative position in a world filled with other magnificently named and titled individuals. 

Sorry for the tangent.  The purpose of this post is to announce the celebratory date of Thomas Day in 2015.  This year Thomas Day falls on Thursday, September 17th!  Spread the word to every Thomas you know!  Visit this blog frequently for further information, background and events taking place on Thomas Day!
