How to celebrate Jan 7th
Ready for a day of fun and celebration? Start your morning by indulging in some delicious tempura to honor one of the day’s quirky holidays. Whether you make your own or order in, the crispy goodness of tempura is sure to kickstart your day on a tasty note.
As you savor your tempura, why not get into the groove with some Harlem Globetrotter-inspired basketball tricks? Grab a ball, head outside, and practice your best dribbles and fancy passes. It’s a great way to get some exercise while paying tribute to the legendary sports team.
Feeling creative? Take some time to craft your very own bobblehead. Grab some clay or play-dough, mold it into a caricature of yourself or a loved one, and let it dry. Personalized bobbleheads make for unique and thoughtful gifts, or fun decorations for your space.
Later in the day, immerse yourself in the festivities of the Alilo Parade. Create your own mini-parade at home by dressing up in colorful costumes, playing festive music, and marching around your living space. It’s a whimsical way to channel the spirit of celebration.
As evening approaches, rock out to some classic tunes in honor of Old Rock Day. Put together a playlist of your favorite rock songs, dim the lights, and let the music transport you. Don’t forget to share your rockin’ playlist with friends and family for a virtual listening party.
For a bit of comic relief, embrace the silliness of National Pass Gas Day. Watch a funny movie, tell some jokes, or simply let yourself giggle without reservation. Laughter is always a great way to unwind and enjoy the moment.
And remember, it’s okay to declare “I’m Not Going To Take It Anymore Day” for yourself. Take a break from any stress or negativity in your life. Treat yourself to some self-care activities, whether it’s reading a book, taking a bubble bath, or enjoying a favorite hobby.
End the day on a cozy note by acknowledging National Distaff Day. Try your hand at a simple craft project like knitting, sewing, or embroidery. It’s a relaxing way to wind down and tap into your creative side.
With a mix of delicious food, playful activities, creative projects, and a healthy dose of humor, you can make the most of these quirky holidays. Embrace the randomness and have fun celebrating in your own unique way!
