How to celebrate Dec 17th
Start your day by honoring the pioneers of flight with a DIY paper airplane competition. Use old newspapers or scrap paper to create unique designs inspired by the Wright Brothers. Award prizes for longest flight, most loops, or best aerobatics.
Next, indulge in a delicious breakfast featuring maple syrup as the star ingredient. Whether you prefer classic pancakes or innovative dishes like maple-glazed bacon or maple-buttered toast, there’s a maple syrup recipe for everyone. Bonus points for hosting a maple syrup taste test to determine the best brand or homemade batch.
Take a break from technology to appreciate your devices on National Device Appreciation Day. Challenge yourself to a day without screens, opting instead for board games, puzzles, or outdoor activities. Use this time to reconnect with loved ones without distractions and rediscover the joy of simple pleasures.
Cap off the day with a fun re-gifting exchange. Gather items you no longer need or use, wrap them creatively, and trade with friends or family. Not only does this activity promote sustainability and decluttering, but it also adds an element of surprise and laughter to the day’s festivities.
By embracing the spirit of exploration, creativity, gratitude, and sharing, you can turn a seemingly random combination of holidays into a memorable and entertaining day filled with laughter and connection.
