How to celebrate Jul 21st

Start your day by celebrating with a sweet treat! Head to your local ice cream parlor for a scoop of your favorite flavor on a cone. Enjoy the creamy goodness as you take a leisurely stroll through the park or around your neighborhood.

For lunch, why not indulge in some Belgian cuisine? Look up a recipe for a traditional Belgian dish online and try your hand at cooking it yourself. Whether it’s stoofvlees, waterzooi, or Belgian waffles, enjoy a taste of Belgium right in your own kitchen.

As the afternoon rolls in, consider organizing a virtual happy hour with friends to celebrate Legal Drinking Age Day. Each person can showcase a different cocktail or mocktail recipe, and you can all raise a glass together over video chat.

For a snack, embrace the spirit of National Junk Food Day with a movie marathon and a spread of your favorite guilty pleasure snacks. Pop some popcorn, grab some chips and dip, and settle in for a cozy evening of cinematic indulgence.

To honor National Lamington Day, why not get creative in the kitchen again? Bake a batch of these delicious Australian treats and share them with your household or neighbors. They’re sure to be a hit!

Finally, end your day on a meaningful note by participating in National Be Someone Day. Reach out to a friend in need, perform a random act of kindness for a stranger, or simply take the time to listen to someone who needs a sympathetic ear. Small gestures can make a big difference.

There you have it – a day filled with sweetness, indulgence, camaraderie, and kindness, all inspired by the themes of these weird national holidays. Enjoy celebrating in your own unique way!
