It’s Square Dance Day

When : Always November 29

Here’s a chance to get out and “Dosey Do” with your partner. It’s Square Dance Day!

English, Irish, and Scottish settlers brought square dancing to the U.S. As it evolved in the U.S., a caller was added to help dancers stay in step. It remains popular among southern and western rural areas, and with senior citizens.

Couples square dance in circles or square formations. It’s lively and quick, and lots of fun.

Square Dancing is both fun, and great exercise. Medical sites and journals speaks to its health benefits for people of all ages.

The origin of Square Dance Day is unknown. Our research did not uncover the roots. But, don’t miss the opportunity today to “Swing your partner” to the lively beat!

Are you looking to Celebrate Square Dancing for a whole month? September is International Square Dance Month.

It’s Your Welcome Day

When: Day after Thanksgiving

Everyone knows about it being Black Friday but we bet you didn’t know it’s also You’re Welcome Day.  Today is meant to encourage us to simply say “You’re welcome”. It helps to put manners back into society.

This very special day comes the day after Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving Day we say “Thanks” for what we have.  So, it only seems natural, that “You’re Welcome” immediately follows a thank you.

Participating in this day can happen anywhere that you are, and anywhere that you go today. Just speak a profusion of “thank you’s” for even the slightest of  reasons. When you say thank you, make sure to be sincere. It will go a long ways.

Are you enjoying this special day? If so, You’re welcome!

It’s Go For A Ride Day

When : Always November 22nd

Go For a Ride Day is today. And, what a splendid time you will have!

As the holidays approach, life becomes chaotic, and perhaps a bit stressful. Take a breather, and go for a relaxing ride. You don’t need a destination to enjoy this day.  But, you certainly can bring family or friends along for company.

The means of transportation can be anything. Sure, a car, bus, or motorcycle ride may immediately come to mind. Here are some other ways of riding, that may prove more fun than the family vehicle:

  • Take a sleigh ride.
  • Ride a horse.
  • Ride a horse-drawn carriage.
  • Snowmobile rides are always “cool”.
  • A bicycle is a great, way to ride and exercise.
  • A boat ride, if your are a warmer climate.
  • Doesn’t a plane ride to a sunny vacation spot sound like fun!?
  • You can’t ride in my little red wagon. Okay, you can ride in it.

Whatever your means of transportation, have a happy Go For a Ride Day.

It’s World Hello Day

When : Always November 21st

The objective of World Hello Day is to promote world peace. The theme of this day is “Greet ten people for peace”. It is really easy to participate in World Hello Day. Simply, say hello to the people today. And, voice your concern for world peace.

World Hello Day was created during the 1973 conflict between Egypt and Israel.  The creators of this day, Brian McCormack and Michael McCormack, believe your efforts can help to promote global peace. They believe it starts with communications, hence the greeting to ten people.

So, let’s all make a difference. Get out on the streets today, and say “Hello” to at least ten people.

It’s National Adoption Day

When : Saturday before Thanksgiving

National Adoption Day is today.

This special day is promoted and sponsored by a variety of child care and adoption groups. According to the websites of these sponsors, this day was created to finalize thousands of annual adoptions, and to celebrate and give recognition to families that adopt children. It is also intended to raise awareness of the tens of thousands of children awaiting adoption.

Does the idea of being adoptive parents interest you? Thousands upon thousands of children are waiting impatiently for you to take the step, that will bring them the love and happiness of a permanent family surrounding.

We hope you use  National Adoption Day to take the first step in the adoption process.

Origin of National Adoption Day:

National Adoption Day is sponsored and promoted by a variety of child care and child adoption agencies and organizations. We have not yet uncovered the creator of this day, and when it was first celebrated.

This day is described as a “National” day. We found no congressional records or presidential proclamation creating this day as a national day.

It wasn’t until 2006 that this day was celebrated in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.  Based on what we have discovered so far, this special day has not been celebrated for long. But, we do feel it is one of the more important special days in the entire calendar.
