How to celebrate Dec 18th
Start your day by embracing the festivity of baking cookies. Whip up a batch of your favorite cookie recipe or try a new one for some added excitement. While the cookies are baking, take the time to appreciate the flaky, buttery layers of a delicious pastry. Treat yourself to a flaky croissant or turnover from a local bakery to fully indulge in Flake Appreciation Day‘s theme of enjoying all things flaky.
As you savor your flaky treat, get into the spirit of World Arabic Language Day by learning a few basic phrases or words in Arabic. Utilize online resources or language apps to expand your linguistic horizons without spending a dime. Practice answering the telephone like Buddy the Elf in Arabic for a fun and unique twist on the holiday’s theme.
For lunch, consider roasting a small portion of meat, such as chicken or pork, to commemorate National Roast Suckling Pig Day. You don’t have to roast a whole pig; making do with what you have is key. Get creative with seasonings and cooking methods to make the meal special without breaking the bank.
In the afternoon, take the opportunity to celebrate International Migrants Day by exploring a new cuisine or cultural dish. Head to a local ethnic market to pick up ingredients for a recipe you’ve never tried before. Cooking a meal from a different culture can be a rewarding way to honor diversity and inclusivity.
Cap off your day by connecting with friends or family members who speak Arabic or share an interest in international cultures. Host a virtual cookie baking party or language exchange to combine the spirit of all the holidays into one joyful gathering. Share your cooking adventures, language practice, and cultural discoveries with loved ones to spread the joy of celebration and connection.
