Ditch New Year’s Resolution Day
If there’s a day to celebrate New Year’s and to make resolutions for the upcoming year, then there should be a day to ditch those resolutions. That’s the reason for today. If you haven’t broken or given up all of those New Year’s resolutions, you’re doing better than most of us. Maybe, you’re well along the way to accomplishing them. Maybe, a few are already checked off on your list. Good for you!
For many of us, New Year’s resolutions are hanging heavily over our heads. They have become a burden, and perhaps were not such a good idea after all. Then…… of course, there’s the New Year’s resolutions that have already been broken.
If you haven’t accomplished, broken, or given up your New Year’s resolutions, today is your chance to get out from under them.
National Nothing Day
National Nothing Day is quite simply… a day for nothing. This day is an “un-event”. The expectation is that we do not create or otherwise promote this day. In other words, we do nothing. And, to say anything more would contradict the purpose of this day. Celebrate this day by doing….nothing. Of course, that assumes that doing nothing is okay with your boss or your yoga instructor!.
Origin of National Nothing Day: All we know about this day, is that it was created in 1973 by newspaperman Harold Pullman Coffin.
National Hat Day
National Hat Day is set aside to wear and enjoy a hat of your choice and style. Isn’t it great that hats come in all shapes, sizes, colours, and styles? There’s one to fit every size head and personality. Often, hats are used to make a statement, or to promote a cause or a product.
Oh yeah… hats have logical uses, too. Some hats (Aka helmets), offer safety protection. Some hats keep your head warm, or the sun out of your eyes….how boring.
National Hat Day is not intended to just keep your noggin warm. Its a chance to make a statement and to display you favourite headgear. We suggest you wear a number of different hats over the course of the day.
Did you know? More body heat is lost from your head than other parts of the body. So, wearing a hat goes a long way towards staying warm on a cold winter’s day (or night).
Dress Up Your Pet Day
Dress Up Your Pet Day gives you the opportunity to …. you guessed it……dress up your pet!
Some pets like to get dressed up. Others, want nothing to do with it. This day is an opportunity to really dress up your pet(s). Make something for them to wear. Or, go to a pet store and buy an outfit. It’s winter, so something warm is best. Maybe some booties too!
Sorry, we don’t have any ideas on how to dress up goldfish.
International Skeptics Day
International Skeptics Day is the perfect day for you…the “doubting Thomas”.
Perhaps the earth isn’t really round!? Maybe, the sky isn’t truely blue!? Does he(she) really love me!? ……..These are the words and questions of the classical skeptic.
By definition, a skeptic is a person who questions or doubts facts and theories. He, or she, is a mis-believer. A skeptic does not accept the “Given”. If you are inclined to doubt things that you see or hear, then International Skeptics Day is for you.
If you practice a little, I’m sure we can make a good skeptic out of you. Go ahead, give it a try. And, what better day to practice skepticism, than International Skeptics Day?

Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day
Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day is undoubtedly a day just for mischievious fun. After all, any kid knows that splashing and jumping into puddles is fun. And, when that results in splashing a friend, your joy is complete.
We sure would like to find the creators of this day; to better understand why it is observed in January. In mid January, many puddles are frozen!
Note: We don’t encourage you to splash your friends. It’s a quick way to lose a friend, and get two moms angry at you.We’re just reporting and describing the day!
Happy Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day!
Bubble Bath Day
Bubble baths are so much fun. We wish every day could be Bubble Bath Day. Today is a fun day to relax and enjoy the warm and soothing pleasures of a bubble bath. Best of all, it can be enjoyed by kids and adults. For kids, it’s playtime. For adults, it’s soothing pleasure, and perhaps ….playtime.
On Bubble Bath Day, there are a couple of ways to enjoy your bubble bath. It depends upon how old you are.
For kids, it’s simple…. Just fill the tub with bubbles and toys. Then hop in and play!
For the ladies, its time to relax! Fill the tub with bubbly water. Hop in and just enjoy the soothing water and bubbles. Before hopping in, set the mood with candles placed (safely) around the bathroom and tub. Add music, playing softly on the sink counter.
For the guys: Don’t feel left out! With permission, you can hop in too! Get in touch with your feminine side, and make sure the candles are lit. You can relax and/or play. The proper sequence is relax, play, relax. We highly recommend both!
Oh, and don’t forget your rubber duckie!
