Since millions of people are Christians, I would say that January 8th is the feast day of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, and that's why it's special.

I think that it is important for some people because in the Northern Mariana Islands, January 8th is Commonwealth Day or maybe because it is their birthday or because it is Elvis Presley's birthday or it could be some other significant event in their lives........

133 million people will be born this year, so if you divide that by 365 days you get 364,000.
So you have 364,000 special days.
But 18,200,000 actual birthdays an average!
so over 18 million special days of the living.
and of the dead
well thats only Elvis to many people

I think it is because Jan 8th is Christmas day in some communities.
