How to celebrate Dec 17th

Start your day by having a sweet breakfast with some maple syrup drizzled over your pancakes or waffles. Enjoy the rich flavor and warm touch that maple syrup adds to your morning meal. Perhaps you can even try making your own maple syrup if you’re feeling adventurous.

Next, take some time to appreciate the devices that make your life easier and more convenient. Set aside a few minutes to clean your smartphone, laptop, or any other gadgets you use daily. Consider organizing your digital files or updating your software for a smoother experience.

In the spirit of the Wright Brothers’ innovation, why not spend some time outside flying a kite or a remote-controlled plane? Embrace the joy of flight and feel the wind in your hair as you watch your creation soar through the sky. If you don’t have access to these toys, simply look up at the clouds and imagine yourself up there with them.

As the day winds down, gather your friends or family for a cozy movie night featuring films that highlight themes of invention or aviation. Enjoy some popcorn and snacks as you bond over stories of creativity and exploration. Consider watching a documentary about the Wright Brothers or a classic movie that features a quirky inventor.

Overall, embrace the sweetness of life, the convenience of modern technology, and the spirit of innovation as you celebrate these unique holidays in your own creative way. Cheers to a day filled with maple syrup delights, device appreciation, and flights of fancy!
