National Guacamole Day It doesnt have any particularly poetic origin, but Guacamole Day is a terrific excuse to indulge in the tastiest of dips. Not only is it a great addition to a savoury spread, its also good for you! Guac is made from avocados, which are nutrient dense and packed with healthy fats that help lower cholesterol, which all contributes to you having a good ol time for as long as possible. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/guacamole-day/National Play-Doh Day Play-Doh Day is an opportunity for everyone, whether a child or simply young at heart, to celebrate this iconic modelling clay. Play-Doh was originally developed in the 1930s, not as a toy but as a product for cleaning wallpaper! It was not until the 1950s that it was marketed as a toy, in the trademark vibrant colours of red, blue, yellow and white. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/play-doh-day/
National Step Family Day Things have changed a lot in the past decades, where once marriage was a life-long institution and divorce practically unheard of, now more than half of all marriages end in divorce. This isnt as bad a thing as it sounds, as many of those lifelong marriages were held together in spite of internal abuse, general unhappiness, and worse due to societal pressures. Regardless of your opinion on divorce and marriage, something good has come from this new paradigm, and thats the stepfamily. Stepfamily Day recognizes all those who live in blended families. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/stepfamily-day/
