How to celebrate Dec 26th

Start your day by writing heartfelt thank you notes to friends or family members. Express gratitude for their presence in your life and the little things they do that make a big difference. Receiving a thank you note can brighten anyone’s day, and it’s a simple gesture that can have a lasting impact.

Indulge your sweet tooth by making homemade candy canes. Get creative with flavors and colors, and involve your loved ones in the process. It’s a fun activity that allows you to bond while satisfying your sugar cravings. Plus, the satisfaction of enjoying a treat you made yourself is unbeatable.

Take a moment to reflect on the importance of communication by participating in Proclamation Day. Use your voice to speak up about issues that matter to you. Whether it’s through social media, writing a blog post, or simply having a heartfelt conversation with someone, make your thoughts and feelings known.

Vent your frustrations on National Whiner’s Day by letting out all your complaints and grievances. Call up a friend or family member and have a venting session to release any pent-up negativity. Sometimes, a good whine can be surprisingly cathartic and refreshing.

Celebrate St. Stephen’s Day by giving back to those in need. Donate clothing, food, or your time to a local charity or shelter. Helping others not only makes a positive impact on their lives but also fills your heart with warmth and fulfillment.

Cap off your day with a friendly game of boxing or any physical activity you enjoy. Get moving, break a sweat, and have a good time with those around you. Exercise is not only beneficial for your physical health but also boosts your mood and overall well-being.

Each of these activities offers a unique way to engage with the spirit of these weird national holidays. So go ahead, sprinkle some gratitude, sweetness, action, expression, and giving into your day – and make it a memorable one!
