How to celebrate Dec 26th

So, you wake up and it’s National Thank You Note Day, but why not kick it off by spreading some gratitude? Write a heartfelt note to someone who deserves it, maybe a friend, family member, or colleague. It’s a thoughtful gesture that can really brighten someone’s day.
After that, why not indulge in a sweet treat for National Candy Cane Day? Treat yourself to a candy cane or two, or get creative by using them to stir your hot chocolate or decorate your holiday desserts.
Moving on to Proclamation Day, take some time to make your own personal declarations for the day. Maybe it’s proclaiming your goals for the day, your intentions for the upcoming week, or even stating your affirmations out loud to boost your mood and motivation.
When it’s National Whiner’s Day, let it all out. Find a friend or a journal and vent about anything that’s been bothering you. Sometimes a good whine can be therapeutic and help you let go of any pent-up frustrations.
Now, St. Stephen’s Day calls for giving back. Donate some clothes or food items to a local charity, volunteer your time at a community center, or simply reach out to a friend in need. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference.
And finally, for Boxing Day, why not declutter and organize your space? Take some time to go through your belongings and donate or recycle things you no longer need. It’s a great way to start the new year fresh and with a clean slate.
