We observe Humiliation Day on January 3 every year. Unlike its literal meaning, it is not a day to humiliate one another or spread hatred, but to relinquish our pride and become humble before a higher power or other people. In this context, the idea of humiliation has its origins in Protestant Christianity, where it means to leave one’s pride behind and come as equal human beings before God. It is important to humble ourselves to stop judging others based on their differences. Humiliation Day should be observed by all, regardless of religion.
Weigh-In Day
Weigh-In Day is an annual celebration on January 4, right after all the big festivities like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Year’s are over. It is the ideal time to see what the holiday season did to our bodies, to check in on ourselves at the beginning of the new year. By weighing ourselves, we encourage ourselves to get started on our fitness goals and healthy diet routines. Although it’s not clear who came up with this day, it is a necessary reminder to get our bodies back on track. To get things started, we’ve compiled a list of the best bathroom scales currently on the market.
Drinking Straw Day
Drinking Straw Day is celebrated on January 3 every year, the day Marvin Chester was awarded a patent for his innovation, i.e., the paper drinking straw. Imagine a world without straws. Sounds horrible, right? We often don’t realize this, but drinking straws have made our lives a lot easier, allowing us access to the bottom of the juice jar first, where all the good stuff lies. Drinking with a straw is much less messy, and we can take our time sipping leisurely.
