National days on Mon May 13th, 2024

So, let’s dive right in. Start your day by channeling your inner Maverick and Goose—watch “Top Gun” with some friends for a dose of excitement. Grab a cocktail, mocktail, or a cold soda (to keep it family-friendly) and engage in some lighthearted banter about who would be the best wingman. After the movie, keep the fun going with a virtual frog-jumping competition. Find some stuffed toys or make paper frogs to participate in this quirky and entertaining activity.

Next up, let’s celebrate Leprechaun Day by whipping up a batch of green-themed hummus as a snack. It’s quick, easy, and adds a festive touch to the day. Grab some pita chips or veggies and invite your pals to join in the hummus tasting. Have a vote for the best-dressed leprechaun (green hats at the ready) for added revelry.

As the day winds down, bake a delicious apple pie together in honor of National Apple Pie Day. You can use store-bought crust and canned filling to keep it simple. While the pie bakes, why not have a crouton taste test? Experiment with different seasonings or try them in a salad to jazz up your meal.

And there you have it—a day filled with airborne antics, tasty treats, and a touch of magic. Have a blast celebrating these seemingly unrelated holidays with a medley of activities that embrace the whimsical spirit of the occasion. Let your imagination run wild and revel in the camaraderie of good friends, good food, and good fun.
