I'm not sure why, but every year, there is an unusual New Year's Day tradition in Seattle, Washington: The Bad Wig and Ugly Track Suit Walk.
All you have to do to participate is don the ugliest wig and track suit you have tucked away in your closet somewhere (I'm sure you have 'em) and walk around Green Lake.
Hey, it's easier than putting on a zombie make up! Link - Thanks Marlow Harris!
