A guide to celebrating Aug 19th
So, imagine waking up to the delightful realization that it’s a day like no other. Our game plan? Chat up whoever is willing to listen in a Jar Jar Binks voice. Snap pics like a paparazzi on World Photography Day. Hop in a virtual airplane with a flight simulator or model paper airplanes for National Aviation Day. Savor a hearty spud feast for National Potato Day – fries, chips, and the humble mashed potato. Extend goodwill to all on World Humanitarian Day – it could be as simple as volunteering at a local charity. Embrace your quirky side with a bow tie for International Bow Day. Finally, cool off with a soft serve cone on National Soft Ice Cream Day. The key is to embrace the oddness of each holiday and revel in the joy of celebrating them in rapid succession. So pick a few, or go all in, and make today a whirlwind of unexpected festivities. Let’s make each moment count and infuse some fun into our day!
