Did you know? There are a lot of national holidays today – and some of them are
definitely weirder than others! Here are three of the coolest holidays that are going
on today!
definitely weirder than others! Here are three of the coolest holidays that are going
on today!
1 - National Stick Out Your Tongue Day
Yes. Yes, this is a thing. Today is the day we celebrate that wonderful, hidden tongue
of ours by sticking it out at people and showing it off to the world! In most countries - like
ours - this gesture can be considered quite rude, but there are a few different ones. For
example, in Tibet, sticking out your tongue at someone is considered a polite greeting.
So let’s all greet people in the Tibetan way by sticking out our tongues today!

2 - National New Friends Day
Friends are a way to enrich our lives and help us learn and understand different points
of view about the world. Let’s all take some time to appreciate the awesome new friends
we made at this camp and the new things they’ve taught us. Friendship rocks!

3 - National Air Conditioner Appreciation Days
Now, since we’re in the middle of July and the sweltering desert heat, I think it’s a great
time to celebrate this underappreciated holiday. Starting on July 3rd and continuing for 44
days afterwards, we appreciate our wonderful air conditioners that keep us from keeling
over. Let’s soak in the cool air we’ve been given and really enjoy that magical comfort
in the middle of summer!
