Think the holidays are over on New Year’s Day? They don’t have to be! At our house we celebrate fun and unusual holidays. It makes the everyday more fun! Here are a few reasons to celebrate in January:

• Jan. 3rd- The drinking straw was patented
• Jan. 13th- National Snow Day and National Frisbee Day
• Jan. 18th- Winnie the Pooh Day
• Jan. 19th- National Popcorn Day
• Jan. 22nd- Polka Dot Day
• Jan. 27th- National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day
• Jan. 29th- National Puzzle Day

Last year for Clash Clothes Day we made teams and had a competition to see who could put together the worst outfits. For Polka Dot Day, we made pepperoni pizzas. Celebrating everyday makes each day more fun!
