Have a Party with your Bear Day - Everyone loves a party, even bears. Send out invitations to include all of your friend’s bears, plan the menu and dress up your bear. Then have some fun!
National Button Day - This is a day for old buttons. I love old buttons. There are an absolutely endless number of different styles and sizes and colors. I could look through tins of old buttons for hours. I’ve started my own collection but it takes time to build up a big enough one to be interesting.
National Fast Food Day - Some people live on fast food, others avoid it like it’s the plague. We tend to live a happy medium, I do try to choose items on fast food menus that are as healthy as possible such as a salad but frankly sometimes either dinner is fast or there is no dinner. The first fast food establishment that I am aware of was a hot dog stand on Coney Island that opened in 1867.
International Day for Tolerance – In 1996, the United Nations General Assembly invited its' Member States to observe this day every year with activities geared toward educating their populations about how important tolerance of others is to world peace.
Great American Smokeout – 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!
Beaujolais Nouveau Day – Also 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 day every year with fireworks, big festivals and music.
Use Less Stuff Day – And another day that is celebrated on the 3rd Thursday in November, 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.
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 worldviews with each other with complete respect to each others' cultural diversity.
World Pancreatic Cancer Day - Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers there is. It is very difficult to diagnose early enough to give the patient even a chance at survival. For that reason only 2 to 10 percent of people diagnosed survive for the next five years. The pancreas regulates blood sugar levels and produces enzymes that we need during digestion to use and store energy. This is a day to focus on early detection because if this cancer is diagnosed early enough for surgery to be an option, the odds for survival are much better.
