It's Canada Day!!! Happy 141st anniversary of becoming a country. Good Job, Canada!!
Culture Buzz PSA: It's tomorrow (June 26)! If you have a dog, join in. Alternately, you can bring the dog to the BuzzFeed offices instead of your own, since I don't think anyone here has a dog. Tacos on me.
A time-lapse video of a Cinco de Mayo festival in Portland, Oregon. The beautiful imagery with a hot soundtrack makes my cubicle feel a bit more festive.
Google Street View removed its picture of a vomiting British dude being consoled by his friend in a reindeer hat. But why? I loved this!

Happy Boxing Day! The holiday celebrated by countries in the 'Commonwealth of Nations' — which includes our neighbors to the north — is today. And no, its purpose is not to get rid of the boxes from Christmas gifts.

Finally! A site where you can create and share the ugliest holiday sweaters. I only take issue with the lack of menorah decals, because there should be no rules against ugly Hannukah merchandise!

Give the gift that won't shut up and then proceeds to kill you. The A.V. Club lists the 15 worst gifts given in TV and film — including the obvious (“I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen) to a little less obvious (“To My Best Bud”). What was the worst gift you ever received?
Culture Buzz Giving and receiving gifts isn't all about violent stampedes in Walmart. Occasionally, it can result in an exchange of something incredibly thoughtful, meaningful, or just plain useful. Let's see if we can create a collection of genuinely memorable gifts people have received. With Holiday season approaching, this could be a useful insight into what makes a present really meaningful. Either that, or it'll be a list of cool, expensive gadgets. Try and think of the best gift you ever got, then post an image or a description below.

For those headed to the airport: an analysis of how much it really costs your airline to check that $25 bag. Spoiler: not as much as they charge you!
If you and a bunch of your friends have about 15 hours to kill, you can use docs.google.com to make pretty snowflakes. Time. Well. Spent.
Culture Buzz Today is National Boss Day, so be sure to thank that special authority figure in your life for trusting in your capabilities as a functioning alcoholic. This Boss Day is probably the most important one ever, as more and more experts are saying it’s recession time in America, and your job might be at risk! Buy ‘em a coffee, it won’t cost much.
Culture Buzz The anti-Columbus Day movement grows steadily every year. Slave trader or bold explorer? Started in Colorado, the anti-Columbus Day movement made headlines last year with a bunch of arrests at the Denver Columbus Day parade. Growing up, I only knew Columbus as the guy who gave me a day off school between Labor Day and Thanksgiving. We’re not pro-Columbus at BuzzFeed, obviously, as we’re working on his big day.
Culture Buzz Happy National Punctuation Day, the holiday that reminds everybody that “a semicolon is not a surgical procedure”!!! So use your commas, hyphens, parenthesis, and “quotation marks” generously, copy editors have been forewarned.
Culture Buzz Tomorrow is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Founded by two friends on June 6, 1995, the holiday was conceived during a game of racquetball when one friend, after being injured, shouted “Arrrgh!” Because the day fell on the anniversary of D-Day, one of the friends later decided to move it to his ex-wife’s birthday - September 19th. After that, the day took on a life of its own.
