How to celebrate Dec 17th

We start the day by indulging in a pancake breakfast drizzled with warm maple syrup. The sweet aroma fills the air, setting the tone for a delightful day ahead.

Next, we can take to the skies with a paper plane competition. Channeling the inventive spirit of the Wright Brothers, we fold and fly our creations, competing for the longest distance or the most creative design. It’s a simple yet engaging activity that can be enjoyed by all ages.

For lunch, we can pack a picnic and head to a local park or outdoor space. Enjoying the fresh air and nature around us, we can savor maple-infused snacks like maple-glazed nuts or maple popcorn.

In the afternoon, a visit to a local aviation museum or attending an airshow can provide insight into the incredible achievements of the Wright Brothers. We can marvel at the evolution of flight and gain a deeper appreciation for their pioneering contributions.

As the day winds down, a cozy movie night featuring films related to aviation or maple syrup can be a relaxing way to end the celebration. Snuggle up with loved ones and enjoy some homemade maple candies or maple-flavored popcorn.

Overall, the shared themes of National Maple Syrup Day and Wright Brothers Day offer a wonderful opportunity to blend culinary delights with a sense of adventure and innovation. So go ahead, embrace the sweetness of maple syrup and the thrill of flight, creating memorable moments with friends and family. Cheers to a day filled with pancake breakfasts, paper planes, outdoor picnics, aviation history, and movie nights!
