National Irish Coffee Day will be celebrated worldwide by the millions of discerning diners who have rounded off countless meals with this enticing and aromatic blend of beverages. Its advent will be just as enthusiastically commemorated by the millions more who need no special occasion to mark the unique marriage of two of the most appreciated tastes ever concocted. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/irish-coffee-day/A Room of One's Own Day As I write these words, surrounded by yelling children and a bad-tempered spouse with a headache, I can heartily attest to Virginia Woolfs assertion that in order to write successfully, one needs a room of ones own. Woolfs 1928 essay A Room of Ones Own was surely the inspiration behind A Room Of Ones Own Day. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/a-room-of-ones-own-day/
Opposite Day It starts with revving your brain up to be ready for a day of opposite sayings! When you like something say how much you hate it. Tell someone how delicious something with a bitter face, and then spit it out. There are millions of ways you can twist your tongue around words that are antonyms of what you mean! You can tell people what a nice night it is when you actually mean what a nice day it is, and tell them that youll see them yesterday when you leave for the night! Opposite Day is a terrible.. I mean great I mean terrible time for everyone! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/opposite-day/
