How to celebrate Jan 30th

Start your day by drawing a dinosaur to kick off your eclectic celebration. Embrace your inner artist and let your imagination run wild. Once your masterpiece is complete, venture out and yodel for your neighbors. Spread some joy and laughter in the most unexpected way possible.

After your yodeling spree, indulge in a delicious croissant in honor of National Croissant Day. Treat yourself to a flaky pastry filled with your favorite ingredients. For lunch, make plans for an escape – whether it’s a mini road trip or a leisurely walk in the park, take some time to clear your mind.

As the day progresses, use National Inane Answering Message Day as an excuse to get creative with your voicemail. Record a silly or outrageous message that will leave your callers amused.

To round off your day, participate in activities that promote peace and harmony. Attend a local event or simply take a moment of silence to reflect on the importance of non-violence. End the night by joining a virtual celebration of Up-Helly-Aa, immersing yourself in Scottish culture and traditions.

Remember, the beauty of weird national holidays lies in their spontaneity and ability to bring a touch of whimsy to our everyday lives. Make the most of these quirky celebrations by embracing each theme wholeheartedly and letting your imagination soar.
