History and Origin of "Get Over It Day":

This special, uplifting holiday was created in 2005 by Jeff Goldblatt. Jeff is an entrepreneur, residing in Atlanta, Georgia. Goldblatt conceived this day, as he was struggling to get over a romantic breakup. He felt a special day was needed to "get over it", a day which would help him and others.

The date of March 9 was chosen to celebrate Get Over It Day, as this date is strategically located between Valentine's Day and April Fool's Day.

There are several recent references to this as a "National" day. This is incorrect, as the creator calls it "Get Over It Day" on his website. We found no presidential proclamation or act of Congress making this a national day.
