Daily Holidays - February 13

National Tortellini Day The best way to celebrate Tortellini day is to learn to make your own tortellini, which is not as difficult as it may seem. If this is your first attempt, feel free to buy the pasta dough ready-made, as this will greatly decrease the amount of work necessary. Roll and cut pasta dough into thin, two-inch squares, then put a small amount of filling in the center. Ricotta seasoned with black pepper and nutmeg is a popular choice that is both simple and traditional. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/tortellini-day/

Employee Legal Awareness Day established by an Australian lawyer, Paul Brennan. His aim was to emphasise the importance of legal education for employees and small businesses and reduce their risk of legal problems. The day isn’t only about laws though, Brennan also suggests that employees should increase their awareness of their company’s policies. According to him, it is important for employees to have a copy of the employer’s handbook, where you can find information about bereavement policy, attendance and punctuality, conflict of interest statements and non-disclosure agreements. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/employee-legal-awareness-day/

World Whale Day Giants of the ocean are celebrated on World Whale Day, which aims to raise awareness of these magnificent creatures. The annual holiday was founded in Maui, Hawaii, in 1980, to honour humpback whales, which swim off its coast. It’s the main showcase of the Maui Whale Festival. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-whale-day/

World Radio Day Before the internet, many people relied on the humble radio to deliver their daily dose of news, entertainment and important weather updates. This was especially true for poor or remote communities who didn’t have access to television or other means of communication. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/radio-day/
