Curmudgeons Day Curmudgeons Day is one of those holidays most people find hard to believe is real. Theres no need to worry, though, because you dont have to be grumpy to celebrate it. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/curmudgeons-day/Freethinkers Day Freethinkers Day falls on the birthday of Thomas Paine, a prominent thinker whose work and publications promoting a philosophy of Enlightenment heavily influenced the course of the American and French revolutions. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/freethinkers-day/
National Puzzle Day With the advent of digital entertainment, the common puzzle may be falling by the wayside. Puzzle Day is your chance to go back to basics; do a jigsaw, solve a crossword or buy a Rubiks Cube and frustrate your friends! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/puzzle-day/
Corn Chip Day Corn chips are a snack food made by frying or baking cornmeal into bite-sized pieces, sold in a bag and eaten either alone or with a dip.
