How to celebrate Dec 17th
Start your day by indulging in a delicious breakfast featuring maple syrup as the star ingredient. Whip up some fluffy pancakes or waffles and generously drizzle them with warm maple syrup. Pair your meal with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa for an extra cozy vibe.
After breakfast, take some time to appreciate the devices that make your life easier. Disconnect from the digital world and spend some time reading a book or writing in a journal. Alternatively, you could challenge yourself to a day without your smartphone and explore the world around you without distractions.
For a fun and educational activity, learn more about the Wright Brothers and their groundbreaking achievements in aviation. Watch a documentary or read a book about their lives, inventions, and first flights. If you’re feeling adventurous, head outside and fly a kite or visit a local aviation museum.
End your day by combining all three themes with a movie night featuring a film related to aviation, technology, or with a scene featuring maple syrup. Snuggle up on the couch with some popcorn drizzled in maple syrup (yes, it’s a thing!) and enjoy a well-deserved relaxing evening.
Overall, make the most of this day by embracing the whimsy and creativity that comes with celebrating these unique holidays. Whether you spend it indulging in tasty treats, disconnecting from devices, or learning something new, take the opportunity to appreciate the little things that make life enjoyable.
