Unlike the whimsical flowers, Forget Me Not Day, on November 10 is a day to ensure that we really won’t forget. The holiday pays tribute to returning soldiers who have lost blood and limbs — things that truly can’t be forgotten — in the line of battle. Forget Me Not Day has been around since World War I, although it’s often lost in the hustle and bustle of preparing for Thanksgiving.
National Chocolate Mint Day
National Chocolate Mint Day celebrates the unusual yet delicious flavour which has become a classic over time. The combination seems to make for a healthy alternative. Chocolate helps produce serotonin and dopamine, and the combination of that with mint overall makes for a healthier candy. Mint is also a powerful herb which aids digestion and fabulously freshens breath. This triumphant flavor combination means an entire day dedicated to its taste and vigor. Announced by the United States National Confectioners Association, national Chocolate Mint Day honors the flavour pairing and reflects the mishmash of these two flavours and their popularity.
National Caregivers Day
National Caregivers Day is observed on the third Friday in February — on February 20 this year. The day honors individuals who selflessly provide personal care, and physical- and emotional support to those who need it most. There are different types of caregivers who are not just limited to the health sector. The types are: family caregiver, professional caregiver, independent caregiver, private duty caregiver, and informal caregiver. Some of them are not always paid, which is why it is essential to appreciate and thank them for their long-term commitment.
