Random holidays that are TOTALLY worth celebrating
Recently I did this survey thing on Facebook where you see what random national holiday falls on your birthday. Mine is National Pasta Day (October 17th) and I couldn't be happier. Well, that got me to thinking about all the other strange holidays we celebrate as a country (some bigger than others), and there is REALLY a holiday for just about every day of the year... and some days there are more than one! When doing all this super technical research (read: procrastinating and goofing off), I came across this list : 12 Totally Random Holidays Every Designer Should Celebrate. The article lists holidays like National Sweatpants Day (Jan 21), Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day (Feb 18), and Drawing Day (May 16), but I've got a few more that I'd like to add to this list.
Handwriting Day January 23
This is something I'm trying to get better about. When I get to writing too fast, I'm super sloppy. I'm trying to slow down and really concentrate on writing neatly.
Napping Day March 12
Seriously? This is TRULY a holiday I can get behind!
(checking calendar to make sure I'm free this day...)
No Housework Day April 18
Ok, most days are "No Housework Day" for me... but I'll totally celebrate it on April 18th!
Read a Book Day September 6
Again... clearing my calendar for this day! I absolutely LOVE to read and I've got an enormous reading list right now.
International Coffee Day October 1
Ok, I honestly celebrate this every day, but I'll be happy to make this a special holiday!
Author's Day November 1
YAY! I had NO IDEA this was a holiday! ESPECIALLY since my first book, Amazing Alabama, was officially published on November 1, 2017! It was meant-to-be!
Make a Gift Day December 3
EVERY YEAR I like to sit down with the kiddos and make Christmas gifts. Whether we do it for one person or multiple people on our list - making gifts is something we (I) love to do! This year I'm going to have to start thinking of something SPECIAL to make on "Make a Gift Day". Maybe I'll create a DIY and you can make a gift with me!
What random holidays do you remember to celebrate each year? Certainly I'm not the only one who can TOTALLY get behind National Inspire Your Heart With Art Day (Jan 31) or National Coloring Book Day (August 2) or Candy Corn Day (Oct 30)... Right?
