Well, 2025 is here. Don’t know what happened to 2024 but the older you get the faster times goes by. Have you noticed that every day of the year seems to be some kind of “holiday” or “event”, like National Cheeseburger Day, or Nacho Day. I decided to do some research about events held in January. What I learned is that there are many, several in fact on the same day! Case in point, January 1st isn’t just New Year’s Day it is also….

· Mexican Independence Day
· National Bloody Mary Day
· International Public Domain Day (whatever that means)
· National Hangover Day
· National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day

Who knew?! The following day January 2nd is National Buffet Day as well as World Introvert Day When I mentioned this to a colleague her comment was funny having National Buffet Day right when many have New Year’s Resolutions…to eat better, go on a diet, etc. I’m also guessing that the last place any introvert wants to be is at a buffet, where a bunch of oftentimes strangers are in close proximity, handling the same serving utensils?!

Perhaps this abundance of celebratory days is to remind us to celebrate everyday and not wait for big or special events to do something special or fun. Do you have a day that is special to you that you celebrate each year?
