The month of July calls for many celebrations around a firepit, with one of them being the National Graham Cracker Day on July 5. The extremely renowned crackers make for great s’mores, pie bases, and crispy crumb coating for your fried foodstuff. Graham crackers were originally invented as a healthy alternative to eating other foods that were thought to cause epilepsy, tuberculosis, and a range of other illnesses. The recipe for the crackers included graham flour, brans, and grains. The crackers were on the blander side with the slightest hints of sweetness. Soon, people realized that the somewhat bland taste of the crackers made for a great addition to pie, cake, and frying recipes.
Take Your Webmaster to Lunch Day
Take Your Webmaster to Lunch Day on July 6 is a day of vital importance, especially in the day and age of the internet. We’ve all been there: You are running short on time, but the website keeps freezing, and if you don’t get XYZ done on time, it’s game over. This is where a webmaster can help you. Using complex programming languages and coding, a webmaster or a web developer can make surfing the internet, for people like you and me, easier and simpler. Webmasters not only train extensively, but they continue learning and growing as professionals throughout their careers due to the constant technological advances. Such rigorous training calls for a day of appreciation for them. Take them out for lunch and/or express your gratitude to them in some other way for their tireless contributions.
Disobedience Day
If you’re not one to play by the rules, then Disobedience Day, celebrated on July 3 each year, is a day you just can’t miss out on. If we were being fancy and literary, we’d probably use the term ‘carnivalesque’ — but whichever way you slice it, it’s about letting loose and being a bit subversive in your own right. Subversion has been popular throughout history, in fact, the very wheels of history have often turned based on subversive events of every kind. Be it through bloody revolutions, ‘flower power,’ listening to rebel rock & roll, or just standing up for the underdog; everyone can find it in themselves to break free of the constraints society has imposed, even if it’s just a little bit. Essentially, at its core, Disobedience Day is about non-violent protests of issues, laws, or causes which are perceived to be unjust, so we’re in no way encouraging kids to disobey their parents, or for anyone to use this as an excuse to rail against “the Man.” The true spirit of this day is in trying something different, standing up for yourself or someone else, especially if you’re burdened by rules or structures which have been misused or made life just too mundane.
