Go to solution Solved by minibois,

You can make a list of special dates (probably a 2D array, with a date and special message. e.g. save January first (of every year) and a special message/string that says "happy new year!" for example) and check the current date against this array.

If you just want something quick and dirty, this will work. But the disadvantages are plenty:

- This will be calculated every time the user loads the webpage

- If they have the wrong date setup, it will do weird stuff

 

You might want to calculate that sort of stuff server-side, once a day for example (although you might want to sync that up to the user's timezone).

This should get you somewhat started on the simple implementation:
