National & International Days on December 30

Festival of Enormous Changes at the Last Minute encourages reflection and action during the final stretch of the year, reminding people that even a few days are enough to begin a new habit, rethink priorities, or approach the coming year with more intention. The observance is believed to draw its name from Enormous Changes at the Last Minute by Grace Paley, which explores personal transformation and the impact of late, meaningful decisions.

Falling Needles Family Fest Day, created by Thomas Roy and Ruth Roy, focuses on cleaning up fallen needles and encourages responsible disposal or recycling of live Christmas trees.

National Bacon Day is the perfect excuse to swap leftover holiday meals for something crispy, salty, and uncomplicated. The name is often linked to a joke from The Simpsons, where Homer asks, “Is it Bacon Day?”, a line later associated with the observance, commonly dated to 1997.

National Bicarbonate Of Soda Day, also known as Baking Soda Day, celebrates this common household ingredient. Its late-December timing reflects its practical uses, from easing indigestion after heavy holiday meals to freshening refrigerators and cleaning the home before the new year begins.

National Resolution Planning Day encourages setting goals before the new year officially begins. It offers time to think through priorities and shape realistic, actionable resolutions rather than making impulsive promises on New Year’s Eve.
