National Housewife Day is held on November 3 to recognize the millions of hardworking caretakers of the home. The day honors the mostly unseen contribution of the stay-at-home moms who take care of the children — keeping them clean, safe and well-behaved — and the home, with its hundreds of unnoticed, repetitive little tasks. It is a 24-hour, 7 days a week, constant job that sometimes does not get the recognition it deserves. This day honors women — and their husbands — for making a choice not always celebrated by modern society.
Spirit Day
Spirit Day is an annual observance that takes place on the third Thursday in October on October 16 this year. This day aims to create awareness for the bullying and harassment that the L.G.B.T.Q community faces. Millions of people worldwide identify as queer, and many more are yet to publicly declare their status. Such a large community of people shouldn’t be alienated or marginalized because of their sexual orientation. But the reality, sadly, is that they are. All over the world, L.G.B.T.Q youths suffer harassment because of their identity. There is a need for transgender individuals to have more protected rights.
Count Your Buttons Day
Count Your Buttons Day is celebrated each year on October 21. Buttons can be found anywhere and everywhere from shirts to jackets to pants. They also come in various shapes, sizes, and colors. ‘Counting your buttons’ can be a fun and practical activity.
