How to celebrate Dec 17th
Start the day with a treasure hunt. Whether it’s in your backyard or around your neighborhood, create a list of clues related to unusual objects or facts to spice up the adventure. Next, unwind with a DIY spa day using ingredients like oats, honey, and essential oils. Pamper yourself with facials and homemade treatments for a relaxing break.
For lunch, have a picnic with friends or family at a local park. Keep it simple with sandwiches, fruit, and refreshing drinks. Enjoy the outdoors and engage in fun conversation. After lunch, try your hand at a new hobby. From painting to gardening to playing a musical instrument, explore your creative side and learn something new.
In the evening, host a movie marathon featuring cult classics or underrated gems. Create a cozy atmosphere with blankets, pillows, and homemade popcorn. Discuss your favorite scenes and quotes with your fellow cinephiles. Finally, end the day with stargazing. Head to a nearby spot away from city lights, lay out a blanket, and admire the beauty of the night sky.
By combining elements of adventure, relaxation, creativity, entertainment, and wonder, you can make the most of these weird national holidays. So go ahead and embrace the unconventional with a day filled with surprises and joy.
