July Holidays
🎉🎇🥳
July is the seventh month of the year (between June and August) in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars and one of seven months with the length of 31 days.
It was named by the Roman Senate in honor of the Roman general, Julius Caesar, it being the month of his birth.
Prior to that, it was called Quintilis. It is, on average, the warmest month in most of the Northern hemisphere (where it is the second month of summer) and the coldest month in much of the Southern hemisphere (where it is the second month of winter).
The second half of the year commences in July. In the Southern
hemisphere, July is the seasonal equivalent of January in the Northern
hemisphere.
July starts on the same day of the week as April in every year, and
January in leap years. In a common year no other month ends on the same
day as July, while in a leap year July ends on the same day of the week
as January.
In the Northern Hemisphere:
* Summer school is under way for many students in the USA.
* Spring lambs, born in late winter or early spring, are usually sold before July 1.

Monthly Observances
Freedom from Fear of Speaking Month
Gasp!
This was a challenge for me for years! So many people fear speaking in
front of and audience, even if they can’t see them. Today their are
options like teleclass and webinars that offer a safe option for those
who fear speaking publicly. But, even these options has its challenges.
If you are a public speaker or coach who helps people overcome the fear
of public speaking.
National Grilling Month
Are you a health and wellness expert or chef who helps people learn how to eat and live healthy?
As
people get ready to scarf down barbecue drenched ribs and potatoes

This is a great time to showcase your expertise and help people stick to their fitness goals.
National Make a Difference to Children Month

Offbeat Holidays
You Can Celebrate in July
We’re
having a heat wave ... of outstanding, offbeat July holidays! The big
firework show may come at the beginning of the month, but there are
plenty more celebrations to keep you feeling Yankee Doodle Dandy all the
way to August.
1. July 1: National Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day
In 1984, Ronald Reagan deemed July “National Ice Cream
Month,” and the third Sunday of this month “National Ice Cream Day.” As
great as the treat itself is, we’re big fans of those unusual flavor
combinations that make you question the limitations of culinary science
and marvel at their possibilities! Ben and Jerry might have the offbeat
flavor market cornered for now, but to be safe you should probably head
for your local ice creamery to “test” their strongest contenders.
2. July 2: World UFO Day
Keep your eyes on the sky at night on this day, because they are out there. According to the World UFO Day website,
the celebration of all things unidentified, object, and airborne
started officially in 2001. That said, most UFOlogoists believe the
existence of intelligent beings from outer space dates much further
back. If you’re feeling extra conspiratorial, holiday organizers implore
you to use this day to “encourage governments to declassify their
knowledge about sightings throughout the history.”
3. July 4: Sidewalk Egg Frying Day
We’ve all heard the phrase “so hot outside you could
fry an egg,” but today is the day we put that expression to the test.
Though the origins of this climate-specific holiday are unknown, we
imagine heat-inclined states were the earliest adopters. Oatman, Arizona
has upped the ante with an annual solar-frying contest. Since you need
daylight for this activity, it doesn't need to be mutually exclusive
with Fourth of July fireworks! Everyone wins.
4. July 6: International Kissing Day
Pucker up for some summer love! Formerly known as
National Kissing Day in the United Kingdom, this holiday was invented to
remind us all of the simple pleasure a sweet kiss can bring. It is also
cited as a direct cause for National Mono Day.
5. July 8: International Town Criers Day
Hear ye, hear ye! Before there was Twitter, CNN, or
even a newspaper, every respectable town had a town crier who kept the
good public abreast of all relevant comings and goings. Today, you have
full permission to shout your appreciation from the rooftops—it’s how
they wanted it.
6. July 10: Teddy Bear Picnic Day
In the early 20th century, John Walter Bratton
composed an instrumental song entitled “The Teddy Bears’ Picnic.” In the
late 1980s, collectible items dealer Royal Selangor decided to turn
that into a national holiday. He also had the idea to conveniently
release toy boxes and collectible items in conjunction with said event.
Regardless of capitalist motives, the day became a national holiday and
remains popular throughout Europe, as far away as Australia, and among
many reputable stuffed bear circles.
7. July 11: Slurpee Day
This year the ubiquitous (at least along interstates)
convenience store will celebrate its 87th birthday. In observance of the
the eponymous date 7/11, the store will dole out free Slurpees.
Freeloaders mark your calendars now, and be sure to set aside an extra
20 minutes of recovery time from the subsequent brain freeze.
8. July 11: World Population Day
In honor of the holiday this year, the United Nations
Population Fund continues advocating its Universal Access to
Reproductive Health initiative. After you’ve recovered from your
aforementioned brain freeze, take one more moment to reflect on being a
part of such a big whole.
9. July 13: National French Fries Day
Or National Freedom Fries Day, depending on your
politics. We can’t make any promises, but last year some McDonald’s
restaurants gave away their signature deep-fried potato sticks in honor
of this special day. Free or not, on this day treat yourself to a full
basket of guilt-free, Frenched, and fried goodness!
10. July 14: National Nude Day
The day the Tobias Fünkes of the world fear most.
Originating in New Zealand, this non-public holiday encourages everyone
to publicly celebrate their all-natural form. Note: please be sure to
familiarize yourself with current local legislation concerning public
nudity, lest you find yourself observing “international delinquent day.”
11. July 14: Bastille Day
Storm your local Bastille in honor of France’s 1789
victory. More than 50 U.S. cities host celebrations, so you have no
excuse to not indulge in delicious French foods and more fireworks. If
your city happens to have loose public nudity laws, you can celebrate
the birth of French democracy in your birthday suit!
12. July 17: Yellow Pig Day
The figment of two mathematicians’ imaginations in the
1960s, the 17-eyelashed yellow pig was born from an intense study of
the fascinating properties of the number 17. Hampshire College Summer
Studies in Mathematics has kept the yellow flame alive every year, with
Yellow Pig Math Days and even a special conference held in 2006 (the
34th, or 17x2, summer of the program).
13. July 19: National Flitch Day
A 15th century relic, a “flitch” referred to an amount
of bacon offered to married couples by local monks who could prove a
year’s worth of matrimonial bliss to a jury of their single peers.
Thought to have originated in Dunmore, England, the modern-day flitch
ceremony now takes place once every four years, but is still very much
all about the bacon.
14. July 22: Doonerism Spay
The birthday of Reverend William Archibald Spooner in
1844 London also marks the celebration of the famous slip of the tongue
named after him. A spoonerism was originally the accidental switch of
consonants or vowels, but has also since become a popular wordplay game.
15. July 26: National Talk in an Elevator Day
We all do it. We look at our phone, at our feet, or at
the fresh coffee stain on our shirts. Anything to avoid even making eye
contact with our fellow elevator riders. Not today. Not on the last
Friday in July. Throw out the social compact, and strike up a
conversation with the nearest stranger while in a large space for a
short period of time.
16. July 27: Bagpipe Appreciation Day
Though
bagpipes are perhaps most commonly linked to the Scottish, the largest
producer in the world of this aerophone instrument is Pakistan. Just one
of many fun facts you can toss out on Bagpipe Appreciation Day. You're
welcome.
17. July 29: National Lasagna Day
Catch
up on some Garfield comics, head to an Italian restaurant, or grab some
ricotta, pasta and Bolognese and whip one up yourself—there are many
ways to honor National Lasagna Day. The only wrong way is to not honor
it at all.
