International Day of the Bible - This is a day that is celebrated around the world at noon for the purpose of sharing the Bible with everyone by reading it out loud in public or online, or posting your favorite verses to social media. If you do that, be sure to tag it #BibleCelebration.
National Girls Learning Code Day - This day is all about encouraging girls to learn to program so they can express themselves and their abilities through one of the most popular activities of the modern age...gaming. Begun in 2014, we need to recognize that girls are just as good at programming as boys and there is no reason why they can’t excel in this field. It’s simply a fact that fewer girls are exposed to programming so they don’t know that it is something they would enjoy doing.
Happy Hour Day - Happy Hour is a common term that is understood to mean that in many restaurants or bars you can get a discount on alcoholic beverages. It usually takes place during the week after most people get off from work between 4 and 7pm. It is intended to bring in business during what is normally a slow time of evening for these establishments. I’m not sure why the term has its own day for celebrating, so if you find out, perhaps you can share and educate me.
World Pneumonia Day - I have had pneumonia. Fortunately for me it was mild enough that I didn’t have to be admitted to the hospital, but I am well aware that it is a sickness that is not to be taken for granted. People die from pneumonia all the time in this world. Whether it’s from a depressed immune system or no access to lifesaving medications and care, the reasons don’t matter to the people who are suffering and the families who have to watch it happen.
AFRMA Fancy Rat and Mouse Day – AFRMA stands for the American Fancy Rat and Mouse Association and their goal today is to convince you that Fancy Rats and Mice (which are apparently different from regular old rats and mice) would make great pets. My children better not listen.
National Pizza with the Works Except Anchovies Day – While there are some unusual people in this world, with messed up taste buds, who actually enjoy anchovies on their pizza, I am convinced that they are in the minority. So make sure when you order your pizza with everything on it today, add in the “except anchovies” or you will for sure find some on your pizza and that will just ruin the whole thing.
Chicken Soup for the Soul Day - Twenty years ago, the book “Chicken Soup for the Soul” was released. If you haven't read it, it is a book (and there have been many others to follow it) filled with inspirational and amazing stories that Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield collected from the public.
Read it today to celebrate your own life adventures and experiences.
European Day of Wine Tourism - Created in 2009 by the European Network of Wine Cities, this day is celebrated on the second Sunday of November every year for the purpose of promoting wine tourism at the same time in each of the partner cities of the Network. There will be wine related events all over Europe for you to partake in, check out the website to find out where they are.
International Tongue Twister Day - Celebrated on the 2nd Sunday in November, this is a day to tie your tongue into knots by reciting tongue twisters as quickly as you can. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers…..you know that one I’m sure. If you are looking for some new ones to try, this website has an enormous collection.
