National Cheeseburger Day – always observed on September 18th
National Cheeseburger Day is today. Top off America’s favorite Sandwich, with a piece of Cheese. The food industry makes it a point to celebrate a wide variety of foods and we believe the Cheeseburgers earns a special holiday.
Celebrate National Cheeseburger Day by firing up the grill, and cooking Cheeseburgers. You can do so for lunch or dinner or both! Any kind of Cheese will do. Try a different Cheese, if you’re adventuresome. For the carb conscious, eat your Cheeseburgers without the buns.
Restaurants should host luncheon and dinner specials today. Tops on the specials board certainly should be Cheeseburgers!

Wife Appreciation Day – third Sunday in September
The objective of Wife Appreciation Day is for wives without children to receive appreciation from their husbands. Mother’s Day is for wives with children. Today is an opportunity for husbands in a childless marriage, to recognize the value of their wives. Let her know how important she is to you, and how much she is appreciated. Wife Appreciation Day is a day that she truly deserves.
It should be very easy to show appreciation to your wife, for who she is, and for all the great things she does for you. You know your wives well, and her likes and dislikes. Begin the day by telling her that she is appreciated. Give her a few examples of why. Then, select a couple of things she likes or likes to do, and make it happen. Giving your wife a gift is perfectly okay, but it is not a requirement.
While this holiday was originally intended to honor wives in a childless marriage, we encourage all husbands to show appreciation for their wives on this holiday. Showing your appreciation today is a basic ingredient for a long and happy marriage. As the old saying goes: “Happy wife, happy life.”
Gentlemen, you will get your day, too. It’s in April when we celebrate Husband Appreciation Day
