Did You Know Yesterday (Nov. 28) Was Make Your Own Head Day?

Make Your Own Head Day


Date When Celebrated : Always November 28

Make Your Own Head Day is today. The only rule that we can think of, is that the head must be your own. So get started, so we can see how good of an artist you are!

This is a crafty day. It is very popular in grade schools, and art classes. In class, you can make your own head. Any medium will do. You can use clay, paper mache, draw or sketch your head. You can make a picture with paint, charcoal, or crayon. Be creative and add a hat to your head.

Happy Make Your Own Head Day.

I can't believe I missed it this year! 

It was also Red Planet Day! Just two days after the Mars Insight landing! 


Red Planet Day



Date When Celebrated: Always November 28 
The planet Mars is referred to as the "Red Planet" because it appears red in color. Red Planet Day honors our celestial neighbor, the fourth planet in the solar system.
Red Planet Day commemorates the launch of the Spacecraft Mariner 4 on November 28,1964. The 228 day mission of Mariner 4 brought the spacecraft within 6,118 miles of Mars on July 14, 1965.

Seriously...all of these "special" days make me laugh out loud. 




I think my favorite is Sept. 19. It be "Talk Like A Pirate Day", you scallywag landlubbers! 


International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Date When Celebrated : Always September 19 th

Ahoy, Matey! Did you know that today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day? It's a day just for fun, a day to let out the pirate in each of us. We like "just for fun" days and we know you do, too.


Practice up your "pirate-speak" in anticipation of this day. The conversation will be lively, and you don't want to be left behind. Today, everyone will be talking the talk, if not walking the walk. It is not a requirement to dress like a pirate today. Just talk like one. 


(I hope I don't get fined for pirate talking on Nov. 29!)


Speaking of Nov. 29, we're celebrating Square Dance Day today! This is VERY important to me, since I took official Square Dancing lessons as a lad!

Square Dance Day



Date When Celebrated: Always November 29
Here's a chance to get out and "Dosey Do" with your partner. It's Square Dance Day!
English, Irish, and Scottish settlers brought square dancing to the U.S. As it evolved in the U.S., a caller was added, to help dancers stay in step. It remains popular among southern and western rural areas, and with senior citizens

December 6, is a very unique day. If you think Christmas is important, it pales in comparison to this day...

Put on Your Own Shoes Day



Date When Celebrated : Always December 6
Put on Your Own Shoes Day is today.

As we researched this special day, we kept on asking Why, why why?....... why does this day exist? We found no answer.

Well, I guess I can give Jeeves the day off on Dec. 6, and put on MY OWN shoes. 

Okay...here is another favorite...

Northern Hemisphere Hoodie-Hoo Day



Date When Celebrated : Always on February 20 
On this winter day, people go out at noon, wave their hands over their heads and chant "Hoodie-Hoo".
It is a day to chase away winter blahs, and bring in spring. After all, everyone in the northern hemisphere are sick and tired of winter at this point and a little crazy being cooped up inside all winter and not seeing the sun.

Did you know? Hoodie Hoo Day is a copyrighted holiday. It was created and is provided, courtesy of the great folks at  Wellcat.com

I've GOT to mark this on my calendar! It's right up my alley! 




It seems that every day of the year has some "special" significance to someone. If you want to laugh a lot, here is a link to these Daily Holidays...
