2025 Fun & Silly National Holidays - January

One of my favorite traditions each year is creating and sharing a list of fun and silly holidays happening every month. I do this in hopes of inspiring ways to find joy in living each day to the fullest, because there’s always a reason to celebrate the present moment. I’ve been doing this for quite a few years now and I appreciate you being here to celebrate! I’ve changed the format a bit this year - I’d love to know what you think.

What I’m most looking forward to celebrating in January:

• 1st New Year’s Day

• 6th National Cuddle Up Day

• 8th National Bubble Bath Day

• 11th National Vision Board Day

• 13th National Sticker Day

• 19th National Popcorn Day

• 20th National Cheese Lover’s Day

• 22nd Library Shelfie Day

• 23rd National Handwriting Day

• 29th National Puzzle Day

What are you looking forward to most in January?
