NEW YORK (CNN) - Say bye-bye to whatever it is that made you blue in 2011. Wednesday, Dec. 28 is Good Riddance Day.
Whether it's a bad memory, a parking ticket, or an old Valentine's Day card, it's time to say "good riddance!"
It's all happening Wednesday in Times Square. If you can't make it in person, don't worry. You can submit your worst memory from 2011 online .
Founders say the day is inspired by a Latin American tradition in which New Year's revelers put artifacts from the previous year into giant dolls and set them on fire.
