1 January is the Feast of the Circumcision of Christ. On second thoughts, dropping this in is more likely to earn you strange looks. :)

I had a calendar once that insisted on giving the birthdays of extremely obscure Americans.

17 Jan and 23 Jan raises the interesting question of who dreams up these sorts of days. I think that a lot of them come from various trade associations who simply announce them in a few press releases and try to make them sound as if they've been celebrated since time immemorial.
