How to celebrate Dec 7th

Grab a friend and start the day with a fun-filled DIY slime-making session. Get messy, get creative, and enjoy the sensory experience of crafting your own gooey masterpiece. Once you’ve perfected your slime recipe, why not indulge in some fluffy, sugary goodness by making cotton candy? You can use a cheap cotton candy machine or even try making it by hand using just sugar and food coloring.

After satisfying your sweet tooth, take a moment to appreciate the miracle of flight by watching planes soar overhead. Head to a local airport or park with a view of the sky and spend some time plane-spotting. As you reflect on the advancements in aviation, take a moment of silence to honor the memory of those who lost their lives at Pearl Harbor.

Continue your day by exploring the wonders of Illinois, whether it’s by trying a local dish, visiting a historical site, or simply learning more about the state’s culture. Embrace the nostalgia of letter writing by penning heartfelt notes to loved ones, friends, or even strangers. Spread joy and connection through the written word.

As the day winds down, light candles in your home to create a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Reflect on the beauty of light and the warmth it brings. Spend the evening basking in the glow of the candles, surrounded by the scents of vanilla, lavender, or whatever fragrance brings you peace. A day filled with slimy fun, sugary delights, aviation wonders, historical reflection, heartfelt connections, and candlelit serenity—what more could you ask for?
