Punch, Checkers & Love Notes…Reasons to Celebrate for Septemer 20-26
This post written by Stephanie Fader, Marketing & PR Manager
After last week’s excitement, it’s nice to have some fun Reasons to Celebrate coming up this week, like National Checkers Day on Thursday, September 23 or Love Note Day on Sunday, September 26.
One thing that’s great about our Reasons to Celebrate is that they’re really perfect for parents and teachers. With the number of food holidays on the calendar, our Reasons to Celebrate sometimes help with menu planning. How about making Pecan Cookies for dessert on Tuesday, September 21 or planning a seafood spectacular for Crab Meat Newburg Day on September 25.
For teachers, Reasons to Celebrate make great topics for the classroom. Take Checkers Day, for example. It’s not exactly what you might think. While most people hear Checkers Day and assume it’s meant to celebrate this classic game, this holiday’s origins stem from politics!
Here’s the entire list of this week’s Reasons to Celebrate:
- September 20: National Punch Day
- September 21: National Pecan Cookie Day
- September 22: National White Chocolate Day
- September 23: National Checkers Day
- September 24: National Cherries Jubilee Day
- September 25: Crab Meat Newburg Day
- September 26: Love Note Day
