February may be the shortest month of the year, but sometimes it feels like the longest! The holiday magic has faded, winter blues have set in, and cabin fever is at an all-time high. But don’t worry—there’s a way to shake things up! Beyond Valentine’s Day, February is packed with wacky, whimsical holidays just waiting to be celebrated. So grab your calendar (and maybe a spoonful of ice cream for breakfast) and make this month a memorable one with these fun and quirky celebrations.
February 1: Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day (Crosley and John think this should be celebrated every day)
February 2: Play Your Ukulele Day
February 3: Carrot Cake Day (“But when is Pineapple Cheesecake Day!?” -Crosley)
February 4: Thank Your Mailman Day
February 5: National Weatherpersons Day (celebrate by learning more about weather patterns and meteorological events)
February 7: Send a Card to a Friend Day
February 9: Bagel and Lox Day (Fun Fact: the shape of a bagel—a ring with a hole— is called a torus. The word torus comes from the Latin word for cushion)
February 10: Clean Out Your Computer Day
February 11: Make a Friend Day (check out our post from last week, What John and Crosley Can Teach Us About Friendship)
February 13: World Radio Day
February 14: Library Lovers Day (support your local library and pay them a visit today. Thank your local librarians for all they do)
February 16: Do a Grouch a Favor Day
February 17: Random Act of Kindness Day
February 19: Chocolate Mint Day (depending on how you celebrate, you could have chocolate mint ice cream for breakfast!)
February 22: World Sword Swallowers Day (seems like something you should celebrate by watching youtube videos of the professionals doing it rather than trying it yourself)
February 23: Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day
February 24: Tortilla Chip Day
February 26: Tell a Fairy Tale Day (Or maybe a re-telling of your favorite Night Buddies Adventure?)
February 27: International Polar Bear Day (“but when is international red crocodile day?!” -Crosley, again)
February 28: Public Sleeping Day (all those late-night adventures make for some sleepy Night Buddies)
With so many wacky and wonderful holidays to celebrate, February doesn’t have to be dreary after all! Whether you’re writing a friend a letter, indulging in a slice of carrot cake, or sneaking in a well-deserved public nap, there’s something fun to enjoy every day. And who knows—maybe Crosley will start a campaign for International Red Crocodile Day next year! Let us know which silly holidays you’ll be celebrating this month.
