Napping Party

Both the Spanish and Greeks celebrate the "siesta" during the work day. We force our newborns and kindergarteners to take several of them throughout the day. They have cute and clever names like "cat," "disco," and "power". But can you tell us the last time you really enjoyed a good old fashioned nap? In our busy 9-5, take the kids to soccer practice, meet your friends for drinks, watch the latest episode of Rock of Love Bus lives we often neglect the simplest pleasure we can give ourselves: the nap. Need an added incentive to have the party? Today is national napping day.

Frozen Foods Party

March is National Frozen Foods Month. The occasion gives us an opportunity for one of the easiest parties ever, food wise. The hardest part (besides all the ice) is choosing just what exactly we want for our menu!

National Grammar Day Party

The Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar (SPOGG) welcomes you to National Grammar Day! Brush up your speech, find those typos and have a party; who says proper English needs to be boring?

National Beer Day - Iceland

Today is the 21st annual Beer Day in Iceland. The tradition began in 1989 when after 75 years, prohibition on beer was lifted. So today, celebrate Iceland with good food and plenty of drink. As if we needed an excuse for a party dedicated to beer.

Tooth Fairy Party

 

Every kid looks forward to a visit from the tooth fairy, even if it means losing a tooth! In honor of National Tooth Fairy Day, this party is fun and educational, inspiring kids to keep their teeth clean.

National Chili Day Party

Today is National Chili Day throughout the United States. The purpose of this holiday is to celebrate the food as an American staple. We're going to do a bit of celebrating of our own with a county-fair style chili party.

 

Groundhog Day Party

  

February 2^nd is upon us once again, which means that the time has come to turn to that official weather predicting rodent we all know and love, Punxsutawney Phil. Whether you're hoping for an early spring or preparing for six more weeks of winter, we have a few ideas to create your own celebration. And maybe we'll make the trek to Punxsutawney for next year's festivities together.

National Trivia Day Party

Here's a trivia question for you…what little known national holiday falls on today, January 4^th? Why yes, you already saw today's theme and you know that today is National Trivia Day. The origins of this holiday appear to be unknown, but for our purposes, it doesn't matter so long as it gives us yet another reason to have a party. Tonight, gather your best buds 'round the Trivial Pursuit board or other trivia game which will test and highlight all their useless knowledge. If you have time to plan, you can organize your own game by having each guest bring a set of trivia questions to ask the group. Though if you go that route, we suggest you appoint a moderator to keep an eye out for repeat questions and of course, cheaters.

 

Festivus Party

   A Festivus for the Rest of Us!

The miracle of Festivus was brought to us by Seinfeld. Is there any part of our life that show didn't make better? Traditionally celebrated on December 23rd, Festivus is a holiday for the rest of us that is still pure and far less commercial than that other big holiday this time of year. So get out the Festivus pole, air your grievances and make sure to stretch before the feats of strength. Happy Festivus everyone!

   

Black Friday Party

The year is 2009- gone are the days of fistfights over the last Furby. Waking up at the crack of dawn to go to the mall on Black Friday is a thing of the past. This year, do your holiday shopping in the comfort of your own living room where you can wear sweats, relax, and enjoy your Thanksgiving leftovers with the company of whomever you choose.
