Recently I was reminiscing with one of my current co-workers about the monthly company enewsletter that the local media company I used to work for would distribute. It was just a one-page PDF file that highlighted local events the newspapers would sponsor; share employee birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, etc.; and always included a “fun” section in which the editors would note the lesser-known holidays for that month.
One that drummed up a lot of excitement was National Waffle Day, which is Aug. 24. A group of people teamed up to have frozen waffles and all the fixings set up in the lunchroom for a little company treat. This walk down memory lane sparked my interest, and I started looking up some other fun “holidays” that might be coming up on the calendar. To my surprise, I learned that National Beverage Day lands on May 6 every year, according to holidayinsights.com.
