Because yesterday was Thanksgiving Day, today is You’re Welcome-Giving Day. It’s the polite thing to do! Plan your lunch: it’s Maize Day, the original name for corn. Since it’s Sinkie Day, eat over the sink, and you’ll have nothing to clean up! Finally, floss the kernels out of your teeth. It’s Flossing Day!
In the United States, the day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday. It’s when many people start holiday shopping, and stores have big sales. If the crowds are too much for you, celebrate Buy Nothing Day instead. Some people even organize Zombie walks, wandering blankly around stores, filling their baskets with nothing!
Today is Go For A Ride Day, and Cranberry Relish Day. You could ride your bike to the store for cranberries! But the most exciting holiday to celebrate, is Start Your Own Country Day! Think of a name for your country, then draw a map, design a flag, and create a new language!
Today is Tie One On Day. Pick your favorite apron, and tie it on to protect your clothes, while you cook a big feast. Aprons come in handy, as emergency oven mitts, towels, or an extra pocket. It’s also Jukebox Day. Some restaurants still have jukeboxes, so you can listen to your favorite songs!
What’s your favorite fun fall activity? There are pumpkin patches, corn mazes, haunted houses, and apple orchards to visit. You can hike through crunchy leaves, and collect a specimen of every shape and color. Rake a big pile of leaves, and leap in! Enjoy the brisk weather, with hot apple cider. Cheers to Autumn!
Thanksgiving is this week, in the United States. Start your feast early, because today is Pumpkin Pie Day, Cranberry Day, and Stuffing Day! You can try out new recipes, until they’re perfect for Thursday! Little cubes of bread, cooked with seasonings and whatever else you want to add, is the best stuff!
If you look around Canada today, you might notice a lot of people wearing red mittens. That’s because it’s Red Mitten Day! Canadians wear red gloves or mittens, to show their support for their country’s Olympic athletes. It’s also Gingerbread Cookie Day, so give your gingerbread man some red mittens, made from frosting.
Hello! Today is World Hello Day. Say hello to 10 people today, to show how communication can help preserve peace. World Television Day also celebrates communication, where the whole world can view important events. It’s also fun to watch fictional characters. Prank someone by making up a fictional story about yourself, for False Confession Day!
Today is Universal Children’s Day. The United Nations established the day, to celebrate awareness and togetherness of all the world’s children, and also focus on improving children’s welfare.

Today is Peanut Butter Fudge Day. Make a batch and share with me! It’s also Name Your PC Day. My name is Alexa; shouldn’t all personal computers have names? For Absurdity Day, celebrate strange things, like sharing fudge with your newly-named computer. Be silly, ridiculous, and absurd, and have fun!
