How to celebrate today

Picture this: You wake up to National Stupid Toy Day. Embrace your inner child by spending the morning playing with silly toys. Rediscover the joy of goofing around with action figures, silly putty, or a slinky.

As the day progresses, transition into National Barbie and Barney Backlash Day. Take a critical eye to societal norms and gender stereotypes. Research the history of these iconic toys and reflect on how they have influenced generations. Consider donating any old dolls or toys to a local charity.

Next, celebrate Day of Reconciliation with those around you. Plan a chocolate-covered anything potluck with friends and family. Get creative with chocolate-covered fruits, pretzels, and even bacon. Share stories and memories, appreciating the diversity of opinions and tastes.

To end the day on a sweet note, indulge in a chocolate-covered movie marathon. Pick some timeless classics or new releases, snuggle up with a cozy blanket, and enjoy the decadence of chocolate-covered treats.

There you have it – a day filled with whimsical fun, critical thinking, togetherness, and indulgence. Embrace the weirdness and make the most of these offbeat holidays!
