Good morning, welcome to our series sharing Unique Holidays: July 6th, 2021. Take a look at this morning’s Holidays and let me know which one you most would like to celebrate and why.
National Kissing Day: June 19
Ahhh, it’s Kissing Day. and the objective of this very special day, is to appreciate and enjoy a kiss. Go ahead and swap some spit today. Pucker up and give out a big, juicy kiss to anyone and everyone.
Kissing originated thousands, and perhaps millions of years ago. Its believed to have originated from mouth to mouth feeding of parents to a child. My, it certainly has evolved over the centuries. Why is that? The answer is simply because kissing makes us feel good.
There’s all sorts of kisses, for all sorts of reasons. There’s the peck on the cheek, the full on the mouth kiss, and the French Kiss, the favorite among lovers.
People are not the only creatures to kiss. Apes, Cats, Dogs, and Dolphins, are among the Animals that share a kiss or two.
Okay, you may not want to know this juicy tidbit but kissing can transmit 80 million microbes of bacteria.
Did you know the Worlds Record Longest Kiss: Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarathold from Thailand hold this envious record at 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds. How would you like to beat that!?
Stealing a kiss requires a partner in crime.
National Fried Chicken Day is day to enjoy crisp and tasty, finger licking Fried Chicken.
Fried chicken is one of America’s favorite meals. I know we all know Fried Foods are not good for us. But, Fried Chicken tastes ohhhhh so good. We just can’t resist having Fried Chicken on a regular basis.
There’s just one thing you need to do celebrate this day: Eat Fried Chicken. You can have Fried Chicken for lunch, dinner or cold leftovers as a snack. Better still, have Fried Chicken for lunch, dinner, AND for a snack.
