How to celebrate Dec 12th

Start your day by constructing a gingerbread house. Get creative with your design and decorations using ingredients you already have in your kitchen. Did you run out of a certain kind of candy? Improvise with what you have on hand. Next, head to a local nursery and pick up a poinsettia plant to add some festive flair to your home. Take a moment to appreciate the beauty and history of this classic holiday plant.

Afterwards, indulge in some ambrosia salad. It’s a sweet and tangy treat that’s easy to whip up with just a few ingredients. Have some fun experimenting with different variations and flavors. In the afternoon, celebrate the joy of music by participating in International Sound Check Day. Find your favorite song and crank up the volume, paying attention to the intricate details of the sound.

As the day transitions into evening, embrace the spirit of generosity by reaching out to a salesperson and expressing your appreciation for their hard work. It’s a small gesture that can make a big difference in someone’s day. Then, gather your loved ones for a cozy evening of sharing unmentionable thoughts. Let the conversation flow freely without judgment or reservation.

Take a moment to reflect on the importance of universal health coverage and consider ways to promote health and well-being in your community. Support a local organization or educate yourself on healthcare issues. End the day on a peaceful note by observing the concept of neutrality. Take a break from arguments or conflicts and focus on finding harmony and balance in your surroundings.

If you happen to stumble upon any lost items throughout the day, be sure to return them to their rightful owners. It’s a simple act of kindness that can make a big difference. Embrace the spontaneity and fun of celebrating these weird national holidays, and remember to enjoy the little moments along the way.
