How to celebrate Dec 17th

You wake up to the sound of birds chirping on a crisp winter morning. Start your day by paying homage to innovation – visit a local aviation museum (or look up virtual tours) to learn about the Wright Brothers’ historic flight. Reflect on their determination and groundbreaking achievements.
Next, embrace modern technology for National Device Appreciation Day. Spend time cleaning your phone, organizing apps, or setting up a new screensaver. Take advantage of free online tutorials to learn a new feature or app on your device.
As the day progresses, indulge in some sweetness in honor of National Maple Syrup Day. Surprise yourself with a decadent breakfast of maple syrup drizzled over pancakes or waffles. Venture outside for a nature walk in a nearby park and spot maple trees. Collect fallen leaves or twigs to create a simple DIY maple-themed decoration.
Cap off the day by incorporating all three themes. Bake some homemade maple-flavored cookies while listening to an aviation-themed podcast on your device. Reflect on the beauty of celebrating diverse interests and embracing the little joys in life.
