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:
July 7 is Tell
the Truth Day and Global Forgiveness Day, I guess we can ask forgiveness for
the telling the truth on the same day.
July 11 is World Population Day and Cheer Up the Lonely Day – have
anyone looked at how many people are on this earth? July 20 is Get out of the
Doghouse Day is the same day as Ugly Truck Day, hmmm I think I see the
connection.

I always find these fun. Thank you. I love July 7th Chocolate Day. My son will not know about July 3rd being disobedience day; I will let him know that July 26th is Parents day. Have a blessed Holiday weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love these posts too, Edie. So fun! I am NOT telling my boys about July 8th being Video Games day! :) But I think I'll tell my hubby about July 6th being International Kissing Day. ;) That could lead up to a great blog post on marriage.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I just had a thought. What if, I used some of these to make pics and posts for other social media? Like Ugly Truck Day? I've got some great pics of the ugliest truck I've ever seen. What do you think, Edie? Could this be helpful for engagement on social media?
Jeanne, I'm no expert, but thanks to inspiration from Edie, I started posting about food holidays on my Facebook page, always including a picture of the food and asking a question of some sort. I've gotten more engagement and views for those posts than anything else I've ever posted about! And it's been lots of fun for me, too. :)
DeleteOh, that's good to know. Thanks for sharing, Jerusha! :)
