Fun February Holidays
Written by Ray Hezkeia & Miroku Stuart. Edited by Miroku Stuart
There is an abundance of cool and funny holidays in February, so we looked and found one holiday for (almost) every day in February! This is gonna be pretty long, so get comfy.
2/1 is Black History Month day, where we can learn the history of what African American people did in this country.
On 2/2, it's National Ukulele Day where we play with friends and have fun.
2/3 is National Women Physicians Day, but you can also celebrate Elizabeth Blackwell's birthday
Did you know, on 2/4, it's National Wear Red Day! If your favorite color is red then you will like this holiday.
Skipping to 2/7, it's National Give a Friend a Card Day. Give a nice and good friend a card. To say thanks.
On 2/8 it's National Kite-Flying Day. Kites are really cool, and they can be very elaborate!
Also, on 2/9 National Pizza Day. Pizza is really good, so we celebrate it on the 9th! Woo!
2/10 is National Umbrella Day. Umbrellas are REALLY helpful, and they’re funny to play with.
On 2/11, it's Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk Day. People are really sad when they spill milk, so we’re telling them “stop”.
We're now gonna skip to 2/14, where it's Valentine’s Day! We love people.
2/15 is Annoy Squidward Day! On the 15th we brainstorm how we can annoy Squidward. Best day ever.
When it's 2/16, it's also National Almond Day. Almonds are pretty good (unless you’re allergic), so we celebrate them on the 16th.
2/17 is Random Act Of Kindness Day! We do a good deed because it makes people happy, and a lot of us barely do that. But if you do, good job!
On 2/18 it's National Battery Day! On this day we celebrate the stuff that keeps your things powered (sometimes)
And now we skip to 2/21. It's National Sticky Bun Day! The buns are pretty good, so we celebrate them.
2/22 is National Walking The Dog Day! It combines dogs and walking. I prefer dogs, but it’s still cool to get exercise.
On 2/23, it's Banana Bread Day! On 2/23 you celebrate how delicious banana bread is!
2/24 is National Chili Day. You celebrate how good chili is.
2/25 is Pistol Patent Day! Wow! You celebrate how helpful sidearms are.
And finally... We're finally skipping to 2/28! But it's... Rare Disease Day..? The name really doesn't sound joyful at all, but the goal of Rare Disease Day is to improve knowledge amongst the general public of rare diseases while encouraging researchers and decision makers to address the needs of those living with rare diseases.
