These are just a few of the wonderful and sometimes silly holidays that you can celebrate with your children. Come up with creative ways to celebrate these wonderful and sometimes silly days! Maybe you can even make some up of your own! How about celebrating your "Un-Birthdays" on the same day every year? Surprise your children with a day of no chores! You can even do that kind of special holiday once a month. Let your children help you to find and research some of the lesser known holidays. My mommy has a pig rescue so 'Pig Day' is a big holiday at her house!
After you have decided on what holidays you're going to add to the calendar, come up with fun and exciting ways to celebrate them! For 'World Hello Day' you and your children could make sure to say hello to everyone! What a wonderful world this would be if everyone took a few minutes to stop and say hello. 'Talk like a Pirate Day' is one of our absolute favorites! We talk in the pirate tone with "Aargh" after everything! It's so much fun and can even be a bit hilarious if you're out in public.
Have fun with these holidays and have even more fun coming up with some of your own special holidays to add to the calendar! Your children will always remember how much fun you made the days of year. Hopefully this is something they can p*** down to their children too. For more great days, check out the site of Official Holidays at
http://www.brownielocks.com/month2.html - there are even links there to prove these days do really exist. So many of them, you and your child will find many wonderful days to celebrate!
Until next time, smile a lot and hug your precious little one...
