What’s Celebrated on Nov 14, 2014

JackieP

Hello people!

Hope your day is going great. I haven’t done a post in a while about weird and wacky celebrations, so I decided today is the day! So, what are we celebrating on Nov. 14, 2014?

 

It’s Loosen Up, Lighten Up Day! This holiday encourages you take things a little slower, de-stress and unwind. We’re all busy, but it’s easy to get caught up into a spiral of stress and angst; take a mental step back, loosen up, lighten up, and find some balance.

 

National American Teddy Bear Day! Now there seems to be some confusion about this holiday. Some say its celebrated in September, some say November. I found two Teddy Bear Days. One was indeed in September called just Teddy Bear Day, and this one, NATBD. What’s the difference? None, except the month and day! So I say this close to Christmas, why not celebrate it today? Who doesn’t love Teddy Bears? No one that I know! So go hug yourself a teddy bear and feel good.

Clean Out Your Refrigerator Day! Ok, I’m cheating just a bit with this one, as it’s supposed to be celebrated tomorrow on the 15th. Some of my readers are from countries where it all ready is the 15th! So I’m adding it in today. Plus, it gives me a reminder that I really need to clean mine out this weekend! So let’s get at it people! Time to unearth those containers that get pushed to the back of the fridge. I’m sure that fuzzy green stuff that’s been added since the last you’ve seen the dish is not good for you! Besides, with the holidays coming up you’ll need that extra space. Or, if you have a fridge like mine, some of that stuff is frozen. Yeah, frozen in the fridge part. Then some things spoil fast as parts of my fridge are warmer than the rest. Once I figured it out, it’s not too bad, I know where to put stuff if I run out of room in the freezer!

I love to write day! Here’s another one I’m kind of cheating with, because again, it’s celebrated on the 15th. I saw this day and knew I had to include it. I mean, it fits us all pretty much doesn’t it? This celebration was founded by author John Riddle, a non-fiction and self-help writer, to get kids writing in schools and encourage adults to rekindle an old dream.

The day  is celebrated by many different organizations – schools, community halls, churches, and even shopping centers. It covers all genres, from novels to poetry to writing in to your local newspaper with a point you’ve always wanted to make but never found time for before. The aim is to get people to sit down and put something on paper or on a computer, however short and in whatever style, kick-starting their writing and giving them confidence through being part of a global movement.

You can participate by writing something down, and encouraging your friends and family to do the same. Consider holding a writing and reading party with your friends, giving books as gifts, or donating to a local reading or writing scheme as part of your celebration.

 

So there you have it people, some things to celebrate today and this weekend. Have fun! De-stress! Enjoy yourself.

    1. Well my friend you should come over here then! I have enough for 2 of us! I cook for just two people. really I do. I don’t cook a lot of anything at one time, but we still end up with a fridge full of food, because hubby has good weeks where he will eat normally, and then he has bad weeks where he can go days without eating. It’s frustrating in that I don’t know how much to cook, or if he will eat or not. So we end up with a fridge full. I have cut that down a lot though this past year. Hm, must mean I don’t clean out my fridge too often LOL I’m damned either way!

  3. Well that didn’t work. Tried to reply to Lois’ comment. They make a day for everything don’t they. We can use any excuse to celebrate or focus on something. I love teddy bears. I’d celebrate a “Let’s loosen up day”. 🙂 I write everyday just don’t post every day. I know you probably write everyday so we don’t need a day. Unless it’s a do nothing but write day.:}

    1. As far as I can tell your comment on Lois’s worked. I see it there, it’s under her comment. So it’s good.

      They do indeed make a day for everything. I love looking up wacky holidays lol. I write every day, well if I wrote all day nothing else would get done, not sure I could handle that LOL.

  4. I think the de-stress lighten up day and national teddy bear day go hand in hand. I guess it appropriate to have clean the fridge day at this time for the upcoming holidays. I celebrate the writing holiday often. Love these wacky holidays. Good job Jackie.
