International Tea Day - Celebrated since 2005 in many countries worldwide, this is a day for dedicated tea lovers. I know there are a lot of you out there. So today as you drink your favorite tea, maybe read an article on the global tea trade to find out what challenges the workers and growers have to face as they fight for fair trade practices.
Bill of Rights Day – This is a day to celebrate the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution called the Bill of Rights. These rights were written in order to ensure the freedom of all Americans and to make sure that the Government has limited power over the people.
National Cupcake Day - This is not the only cupcake celebration for the year so if you think I’m repeating myself, you would be partially correct. Fun fact: Some serious cupcake lovers created the world’s largest cupcake back in 2009 in London. It measured four feet across and weighed 330 pounds. I wonder who ate it.
National Lemon Cupcake Day – Now I am aware that we just talked about Cupcake Day. But someone appears to want to be more specific and wants to celebrate lemon cupcakes in particular. So if you are short on time, you can celebrate both by just making lemon cupcakes. I am a big fan of lemon flavored baked goods, even more than chocolate, believe it or not. So I am all over this particular holiday.
Cat Herders Day – This is not a day to actually try to herd cats from one spot to another. I think we can all recognize how nearly impossible a task that would be. That is the point of the whole day, to recognize the frustration of trying to do the impossible which some of us are faced with on a regular basis whether at work or at home.
National Ugly Christmas Sweater Day - Celebrated on a Friday in December, this is a day to scour your closet for the ugliest Christmas sweater you own. If you don’t own one, what is wrong with you? Run to the store and get one before it’s too late. Then wear that sweater all day today. It doesn’t matter what else is going on. Even if you are going to a wedding today, wear the sweater. If you are the one getting married, well...you chose poorly but you have to live with it...in the sweater.
Underdog Day – Celebrated on the third Friday in December, this is a day to root for the Underdog. An underdog is someone who is not expected to win. There can be underdogs in just about any category of life but we hear the term most often in reference to sporting events.
Free Shipping Day – This day was begun in 2007 by Luke and Maisie Knowles with the intention of extending the online shopping season. There was a time when Cyber Monday was generally the most popular day for online shopping. After that, most people were afraid they wouldn't get their items in time for Christmas so they didn't shop online again. Now, Free Shipping Day is another very popular day for online shopping. Some stores hold their own free shipping deals not related to this specific day.
