National Fresh Squeezed Juice Day - I’m not sure who created this day or why, but I have to assume that whoever it was really likes fresh squeezed juice. So if you have a juicer, you’re all set. If not, I hope your hands are up for the challenge. What can you squeeze juice out of besides oranges and grapefruits?
National Strawberry Ice Cream Day – My son's favorite ice cream! I guess I'll just have to get him some. Truth be told, it’s one of my favorites as well.
National Hat Day – This is a day to celebrate hats of all kinds. Get your favorite hat out of the closet and show it off today, although you might want to brush off the cobwebs first, it's not Spooky Hat Day after all.
Humanitarian Day – Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday and the first of three Emancipation Days of Respect which honor the memory of Martin Luther King by promoting respect, unity and remembrance.
Wikipedia Day - On this day in 2001, Wikipedia went public. It went from zero to 20,000 English articles in just one year. The next year they added almost 80,000 more. Many people thought it wouldn’t last because of the fact that anyone can go in and update information. But they are even more popular today and show no sign of slowing down.
Elementary School Teacher Day - On the third Monday of January, we remember and honor the Elementary School teachers we had as well as the ones who are teaching still today. An Elementary School teacher has to be able to teach any subject to a gaggle of young, easily distracted students. This amazing person also has to teach sharing, manners, the importance of cleaning up, and playing well together. It’s a difficult job that I would not be able to do so I am very glad there are so many others who do it so well.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day - This is the day that we celebrate the day that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr was born. We celebrate on the third Monday of January every year, but he was actually born on January 15. So every now and then this day falls on the actual day of his birth. Of course, we all know that Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great man, who wasn’t just involved in the Civil Rights Movement, he WAS the Civil Rights Movement and had a profound impact on all people, not just the African-Americans.
Civil Rights Day - It should be no surprise that this day falls on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Celebrate today by making sure you teach your children about tolerance and equality and make sure you practice it yourself. All Americans have the same rights but unfortunately, even today, many Americans are denied those rights.
Martin Luther King, Jr. - Idaho Human Rights Day - This is a day that was created by Idaho Governor Dirk Kempthorne and is celebrated with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in order to highlight further the fact that we need to work hard to make sure that no one is ever denied their basic Human Rights.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service - Created by Congress in 1994, and celebrated on the third Monday in January, this is a day give to others by participating in the thousands of service projects all across the country that have been planned for today. It is a day to spread the idea that we can all serve each other and spread messages of nonviolence and social justice.
Robert E Lee Day or Lee’s Birthday - Celebrates the birth, on January 19, 1807, of General Robert E. Lee a famous general of the Confederacy during the Civil War. It is celebrated on the third Monday in January in several states, although Florida celebrates on the 19th.
