World Hello Day – This is a day that was begun in 1973 because of the problems between Israel and Egypt. Yes, I know, I don't remember what was up with that either. I guess we are not old enough. One hundred and eighty countries have celebrated this day ever since. The goal is to greet ten people today to spread a message to world leaders and encourage them to talk about their problems instead of fighting.
Beaujolais
Nouveau Day – Celebrated
on the third Thursday in November by the French, this is a day that
celebrates the release of a specific type of wine called....want to
guess? That's right! Beaujolais Nouveau! They celebrate this every
year with fireworks, big festivals and music.
World Television Day – Declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 1996, this is a day that commemorates the anniversary of the World Television Forum that year.
False Confession Day – This is a day to make a false confession to some transgression that you didn't commit. Why, you ask? I haven't the slightest idea.
Great
American Smokeout
–
Also celebrated on the third Thursday in November, this is a day to
quit smoking. This is an easy day for me because it is very easy to
quit something that you don't do to begin with. So I pledge to quit
smoking today! Who is going to join me and be healthier for it!Use Less Stuff Day – This is a day to use less stuff so that you end up throwing away less stuff. Apparently we throw away 25% more garbage between Thanksgiving and New Years than we do at any other point in the year. That is good incentive to create less waste and thereby put less garbage into our landfills. Here are some ideas to help you get started: http://www.use-less-stuff.com/ULSDAY/42ways.html
International
Philosophy Day – This day was created eleven years ago by the
United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO). It is celebrated on the third Thursday in November and we
will be sharing our experiences and world views with each other with
complete respect to each others' cultural diversity.
To
celebrate today, stop smoking, watch the French celebrations on your
televisions while you plan your holiday season with the idea of
creating less garbage. When you go out, say hello to everyone you
meet and share your personal philosophy on the idea of making false
confessions.
Today I would like to thank my readers in Azerbaijan. There are not many of you, but quality is more important than quantity. Plus, I've always wanted to talk to someone in an interesting country like Azerbaijan.
