October 6 celebrates the magical, eccentric Hatter from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
Why today?
John Tenniel’s original illustration shows a tag on his hat reading “10/6”—a price of ten shillings and six pence. Read as an American calendar date, it becomes October 6!
This unofficial holiday is an invitation to embrace a little silliness, let your imagination wander, and celebrate the quirks that make you unique.
So put the kettle on, wear your most ridiculous hat, and make room at the table for the delightfully strange. Wonderland always has another seat.
