Barbie and Barney Backlash Day
Many of us may not have been fond of certain well-known figures during our childhood, which is why December 16th has been designated as Barbie and Barney Backlash Day. This day serves as a reminder for parents to take a break from purchasing Barbie dolls or turning off Barney’s catchy songs that have delighted children for decades. Additionally, Barbie is not just limited to dolls there are also a variety of movies available. This day, which provides an amusing and somewhat ironic perspective on these household names, allows some of us to temporarily put Barbie and Barney aside.
