Gorn Friendship Day - January 19
Who doesn't love the Gorn? They're almost too affectionate, as seen in this over-enthusiastic hug being given to a Starfleet captain. These guys were one of the more memorable one-story races introduced in Star Trek: TOS.
Okay, Captain Kirk and the Gorn's first encounter was rather fraught with conflict, but in their later years they would socialize together. (Admittedly hard feelings would sometimes resurface.)
How should you celebrate Gorn Friendship Day? Well, if the episode Arena is on, then it's a no-brainer; watch the program to celebrate. If that's not available to you, enjoying any of the Star Trek programs, movies, or books could suffice. And if you're able to watch with a reptilian alien, that's even better.
