Fish Fingers and Custard Day is celebrated annually on April 3. This legendary sequence from the British science fiction television program “Doctor Who” served as the inspiration for this holiday. In this scene, Matt Smith’s Eleventh Doctor enjoys fried fish sticks with vanilla custard dip. Even while this may seem like a weird and slightly disgusting mix, many admirers decided to give it a whirl. This new meal was so popular that the BBC, the channel that aired the show, decided to devote an entire day to promoting it. Originally observed on April 3, 2012, Fish Fingers and Custard Day has become an annual tradition.
Boomer Bonus Days
Boomer Bonus Day is celebrated on April 1 every year. Don’t know what Boomer Bonus Day is? Have you ever been to a store and see a senior citizen get a discount on the first day of April? That store is celebrating Baby Boomers. These are people who were born between 1946 and 1964. The population size of Boomers is estimated to be about 71.6 million in the U.S., making up about 21.45% of the population. This generation deserves to be treated specially because they have had a significant impact on the U.S. economy. The term “Boomer” is derived from the boom in births that took place after the return of soldiers from World War II.
National Peter Day
National Peter Day, which takes place on March 21 every year, celebrates one of the world’s most beloved names and carries a deep connection to the Holy Spirit and the tales of Jesus Himself. If you’re fortunate enough to have been named Peter, then you stand amongst some of the most noteworthy people in our planet’s shared history. Peter is a name that carries an immense amount of strength with it, and in Greek, from where the name hails, it means ‘rock’ or ‘stone.’ Its significance in the western world is largely due to its appearance in the Bible, as Jesus renamed His Apostle, Simon Bar-Jona, Peter.
