How to celebrate Aug 5th

On a day filled with celebrations for things like underwear, friendship, oysters, and couscous, your agenda is set to be quite eventful (and possibly a bit odd, in the best way possible). Start your morning by reaching out to friends; after all, it’s Friendship Day. Connect virtually if distance is an issue or plan a small gathering. Keep it budget-friendly by organizing a potluck brunch where everyone can contribute their favorite dish.

As the day progresses, embrace the theme of working hard like a dog by tackling chores or tasks you’ve been putting off. Use the buddy system by involving your friends or family members; make it a fun challenge with rewards at the end. Maybe even let your furry companion join in on the action.

For lunch or dinner, channel your inner chef on National Couscous Day. Whip up a simple couscous dish with whatever ingredients you have on hand. Get creative with your seasonings and toppings for a truly unique meal.

Round off the day with a dash of excitement by watching dashcam videos online or creating your own quirky clips. Embrace the unexpected and revel in the spontaneity of the moment.

Remember, the beauty of these bizarre holidays lies in the freedom to interpret them however you wish. So, whether you spend the day in comfy underwear, enjoying the company of friends, or indulging in some couscous creations, make it a day to remember. Cheers to the wonderfully weird world of unconventional holidays!
