Ok, if you see it's a national day please add, yesterday was national puzzle day and there was an hourly but didn't find it until late on.

I think we have just had national peanut butter day.

The other week was national dress up your pet day, you get the idea.

You can then search with the # or seek out well know companies within that field.

Just seen it's It's National Storytelling Week, so there could be lots of book companies doing something this week.

:hello: Hi all

I use the 'National Celebration Days' as a theme when
I say Good Morning to the Alphabettys! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It's actually The Alphabetty Happy Chatty thread.

I think the majority of 'celebration days' are based in
America .... they seem to have celebrations every day
of the year and some are quite funny!

18th January was Winnie the Pooh Day, celebrated on the
birthday of author A A Milne. I am guessing there were
maybe a few comps/giveaways related to Pooh!? :think:



The following is from http://www.national-awareness-days.com

There is a distinction to be made between national days and awareness days. Usually awareness days are health related, and help raise awareness of cancers and illnesses, and also around these days charities collect money. And we mustn't forget all the international days that take place each year. Their purpose is to raise awareness of important humanitarian, cultural, social and political issues around the world.

Awareness days are both serious and great fun. They are can be about supporting a charity and cover diverse subjects, World Aids Day, National Infertility Awareness Week and International Blood Cancer Awareness Month. The fun side is, for example, a sponsored walk with your friends to raise money for your chosen charity. This site will let you know when and how to take part in these types of activities.

National days generally have a fun, or quirky side to them, and are, in some cases staged by commercial organisations to help promote their products and services. But, they often have a serious side too and any donations received as part of any events held on the national day are often given to associated charities by these companies.

There are however many national days which are just for fun, for example, International Talk Like A Pirate Day is a growing fun day celebrated by many students across the western world. Participants dress up as pirates and attempt to talk to each other in pirate speak while swilling flagons of ale. :eek:

From a quick glance this site looks pretty good:

especially the calendar section.

If I spot anything that I think may be of interest I will drop
by and let you know.

Phew! Worn out now ... off to get myself a reviving cup of
coffee - take care.
