Let’s explore the national and international days celebrated on this date!

National Croissant Day: Honors the buttery, flaky pastry beloved worldwide. The croissant’s origins can be traced back to Austria’s 13th-century Kipferl, which later evolved into the iconic French croissant thanks to Austrian officer August Zang, who introduced Viennese baking techniques to Paris in 1839.

National Draw a Dinosaur Day: Founded in 2007 by a student named Todd Page, this fun day invites people of all ages to tap into their creativity by drawing dinosaurs.

National Escape Day: Encourages people to step away from their routines and find ways to relax and recharge. Whether it’s a day off, a vacation, or just taking time to unwind, this observance highlights the importance of self-care and mental well-being.

National Inane Answering Message Day: Created in 2001 by Thomas and Ruth Roy, this day prompts people to replace or delete senseless answering machine messages. Although technology has evolved, the spirit of the day remains relevant, tackling modern annoyances like inane voicemails and robocalls.

School Day of Non-violence and Peace: Established in Spain in 1964 to honor the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi on the anniversary of his assassination, this day promotes messages of universal love, non-violence, and peace in schools worldwide.

Yodel for Your Neighbors Day: Pays tribute to the Alpine tradition of yodeling, originally used for communication across villages. This fun observance encourages people to embrace this unique singing style and spread joy.
