If you could create your own National Holiday, what would it be and when?

Obviously, my birthday.  The entire country would celebrate, blow-up balloons and throw streamers, bake cakes, and give me lots of presents (particularly free wine and chocolate) in celebration of another year of my being on Earth.   Better still, my birthday could be a world-wide holiday and I could - for the day each year - be treated as a demi-god.  I could make rules - naming bread after my mother, for example, and insisting on renaming months and days (which could get confusing, I admit, if just for the day), building outdoor ice-rinks in the northern hemisphere (summer) and bbqs down south (Winter) and generally style myself as Saparmurat Niyazov, ex-president of Turkmenistan (without the torture etc).  Just for the day.  Which would be simply the coolest way to spend my birthday.
