How to celebrate Jul 21st

Ever thought about being someone different for a day? Try it out! Start by wearing a fun wig or a funky outfit that you normally wouldn’t dare to. Embrace the opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and channel a whole new persona.

Feeling a little hungry after your transformation? It’s National Junk Food Day! Indulge in all your guilty pleasures – whether it’s a greasy burger, a giant slice of pizza, or a mountain of cheese fries. Forget the calorie counting for a day and savor every delicious bite.

Now, imagine cruising around in a classic Woodie Wagon on Legal Drinking Age Day. While it may not be safe or legal to drink and drive, you can still enjoy the retro vibes by taking a scenic drive, blasting some old-school tunes, and maybe having a picnic at a local park.

For a more unconventional twist, why not celebrate Take a Monkey to Lunch Day by visiting a zoo or a wildlife sanctuary? Learn about our furry primate friends and maybe even volunteer to help out for the day. It’s a unique way to connect with nature and make some new friends!

As you continue your adventure, mark World Collie Day by spending some quality time with man’s best friend. If you don’t have a collie of your own, consider volunteering at a local animal shelter or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll in the park with any four-legged companion.

Ready for a close encounter of the weird kind? It’s Invite an Alien to Live with You Day! Get into the extraterrestrial spirit by watching sci-fi movies, stargazing, or even hosting a themed movie marathon with friends. Who knows, maybe you’ll get a surprise visit from E.T.!

Finally, wrap up your day by supporting a good cause on National Craft for Your Local Shelters Day. Get creative and make some handmade toys or blankets for shelter animals, or donate essential supplies like food and bedding. Your small gesture can make a big difference in the lives of those in need.

So, go ahead and mix and match these unconventional holidays for a day full of fun, adventure, and a touch of the unexpected. Let your imagination run wild and embrace the opportunity to step into a world where the weird and wonderful collide.
