It’s time again
for Calendar Days. These are just fun to read. They’re also a great way to
jumpstart our creativity when looking for ideas for articles and blog posts. They’re
also a fun writing prompt idea.
In addition, calendar
days are great conversation starters for social media sites like Facebook and
Twitter, especially when two contrasting holidays fall on the same date. Here
are some that tickled my funny bone this month:
April 6,
International Pillow Fight Day and Plan Your Epitaph Day—obviously these people
are serious about their pillow fights!
Also, 7 is
sending a good message—World Health Day and No Housework Day. I definitely
think they’re onto something. LOL!
Finally, I think
April 30 is sending us mixed messages. It’s Hairstyle Appreciation Day and
National Honesty Day. Mixing those two could get someone in trouble.

These are really fun! Thanks for posting! What about Good Friday, though?
ReplyDeleteI used to use ideas like this when I worked at a library. I would visit senior citizens and bring ideas to talk about by using this method. Now why not write about it? Great ideas Edie. Thanks. Beth
ReplyDeleteApril is also Autism Awareness month.
ReplyDeleteLove these! I wonder how many people will tell a little white lie on Honesty Day? ;)
ReplyDeleteI always love these posts, Edie. Thanks so much for compiling them!
