Welcome to #Checkin for Monday, July 1st, 2024!
Why howdy there #Checkin people, it’s me, Rod again. Today we’re going to talk about holidays!
And since we’re just a few days away from The Fourth of July, (sometimes known as Independence Day here in the USA,) I thought I’d take a look at the list of holidays for today. And Jesus Palomino, has it gotten out of hand.
Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day; National Gingersnap Day; National Postal workers Day; National U.S. postage stamp Day; Canada Day; American Zoo Day; International Chicken Wing Day; International Reggae Day; Dyspraxia Awareness Week; Early Bird Day; Honor America Days; International Joke Day; National financial freedom Day; National Television Heritage Day; Independence Day (yes, there’s another one!); Lasagna Awareness Month; National Grilling Month; Picnic Month; Plastic Free July; Second Half of the Year Day; Eye Safety Awareness Week; Decade of Action for Road Safety; Devotion to duty Day; International Year of Camelids
The word “holiday" derives from the term “holy day" and naturally first involved religious observances, the term is used broadly today and applies even to secular celebrations. Many of the non-religious ones are political, but many more are created to promote an industry or product, like the first two in the list, or just an idea, like being an early bird. Me, I thought it meant a vacation trip because gramps would always say we were going on holiday.
You celebrating anything?
As usual, the topic is open.
