Some Fun Observances Since Tax Day Is Never Fun

We all know the dreaded April 15th Deadline as Tax Day, but what else gets observed in April? Here are a few items a bit lighter than Tax Day:

April Fools Day

- April 1 - Most of you already knew this one and if not, well you might be somebody's easy target!

No Housework Day

- April 7 - Did you happen to miss this one? Or did you accidentally "celebrate" without knowing about it!

National Egg Salad Week

- This Week! - Of course this is going to follow Easter with all those hard-boiled eggs. It wouldn't make sense for it to be after Halloween, unless of course, it was call Egg Toss Week.

International "Louie Louie" Day

- April 11 - Yes, that "Louie Louie" song, and it is even supported by an organization called LLAMAS (Louie Louie Advocacy and Music Appreciation Society).

National High Five Day

- April 16 - You've heard the phrase or quote "Random Acts of Kindness" before, well, this is sort of a similar deal originated at the University of Virginia.

National Jelly Bean Day

- April 22 - I don't make this stuff up even though I really do like jelly beans!

Sense of Smell Day

- Late April (25ish - 29ish) - It just sounded funny even though it really is an educational event at children’s museums

National Karaoke Week

- Last Week of April - Great fun if you enjoy Karaoke, a week to avoid neighborhood bars if you don't!

You can look these up on your favorite search engine to find more info.

This post is done with a sense of wonder and humor. After all, in line with wellness, "laughter is the best medicine." I hope this helped lighten your outlook for the month of April.
