Unbirthday

An unbirthday is an event celebrated on every day of the year other than a person's birthday. The term first appeared in Lewis Carroll's 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass, where Humpty Dumpty describes an un-birthday present. The idea was later used in Disney's 1951 animated film Alice in Wonderland, in which the Mad Hatter, March Hare and Dormouse hold an unbirthday party and sing "The Unbirthday Song."

Definition: An event celebrated on days that are not a person's birthday
First appearance: Lewis Carroll's 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass
