How to celebrate Jul 20th
Feeling like shaking things up but not sure where to start? Why not kick off your day by delving into a game of chess? Challenge a friend or family member to a match, or test your skills against the computer if you’re flying solo. It’s a great way to kickstart your brain and get those cognitive juices flowing.
Once you’ve claimed victory (or come to a mutual stalemate), why not keep the fun going with a round of Wiffle ball? All you need is a bat, a ball, and some open space. Gather some pals or head to the park solo – either way, you’re in for a good time.
If physical activity isn’t your thing, you could embark on a mission to explore the cosmos from the comfort of your living room. Dive into a book about space exploration or cue up a documentary. You’ll feel like you’re soaring among the stars in no time.
Craving something sweet after all that brainpower and activity? Treat yourself to a lollipop or crack open a fortune cookie. Embrace the whimsy of these simple delights and let the universe guide you.
Feeling the urge to grove? Throw on some tunes and celebrate International Boombox Day by hosting your private dance party. Let loose and revel in the music – there’s no judgment here.
As the day winds down, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the moon. Step outside and bask in its glow, embracing the tranquillity and wonder of the night sky.
Now, if you find yourself near an ugly truck or happen to own one, give it some love on National Ugly Truck Day. Take pride in its uniqueness and character – after all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Lastly, raise a toast to friendship on Friends Day. Reach out to those you cherish, whether through a call, text, or video chat. Nurture those connections and revel in the camaraderie that makes life sweet.
