Take time to celebrate
the small things

In case you missed it,
April 4 was National
Hug a Newsperson Day.
When I was scrolling
through my Twitter feed
and came across this in
some posts, I was also
taken aback ... to think that
I almost had missed it!
I’ll admit, I didn’t really
go out of my way to celebrate
this one, but it did
give me a good laugh.
The National Day
Calendar highlights more
than 1,500 holidays. On
its website, it says it’s “the
authoritative source for
fun, unusual and unique
National Days. Since our
humble beginnings on
National Popcorn Day in
2013, we now track nearly
1,500 National Days, National
Weeks and National
Months. In addition, our
research team continues
to uncover the origins of
existing National Days,
as well as discover new,
exciting days for everyone
to celebrate.”
This upcoming week,
the calendar highlights
National Licorice Day
(April 12), National Blame
Someone Else Day (April
13), National Dolphin
Day (April 14), National
Glazed Spiral Ham Day
(April 15), National Wear
Your Pajamas to Work Day
(April 16) and National
Haiku Poetry Day (April
17). The list continues at
nationaldaycalendar.com,
and there’s even more than
one holiday per day.
We’ve highlighted some
of the National Days in the
past within our Quick Bites
feature in our Life & Arts
dining section. We always
feature one dish monthly
between our regular dining
out stories and find a variation
in the seven North
Shore towns that we cover.
We think having it take
on a National Day theme
gives it some personality.
If you’re not a believer in
celebrating all of these random
holidays, I think you
can still take away a message
from the National Day
Calendar. Even if today is
not a large-scale, national
holiday, you can still take
some time to appreciate and
acknowledge someone or
something in your life. We
all deserve a little time in
the spotlight, right?
If you’re still looking
to celebrate a belated Hug
a Newsperson Day, show
your love on our Facebook
and Twitter (@GlencoeAnchor)
and give us a like!
The best gift of all though
would be to subscribe online
at GlencoeAnchor.com.
