The ‘Odd’ Holidays in August

With a few weeks left in August there is still time to celebrate some of the unusual holidays in the month. On the 10^th it is ‘Lazy Day’ a day to goof off and not work best spent in a hammock. On the 13^th we celebrate ‘Left Hander’s Day’.

Interesting fact about ‘Lefties’, very few are 100% left handed, many golf or bat right handed but a high percentage of ‘righties’ are 100% right handed.

August 15^th is ’VJ Day’ which marks the end of WWll. It stands for ‘Victory Over Japan Day’. It could be on the 14^th because that’s when Japan surrendered but it was the 15^th when the surrender was announced to the world.

‘National Radio Day’ is on the 20^th to celebrate the invention of radio in the late 1800’s. It is a day to listen to your favorite radio station like B98.5 and give a little ‘love’ to your favorite radio personalities.

On August 30 it’s ‘National Frankenstein Day’ which celebrates the birth of Mary Shelley who wrote the book ‘Frankenstein’ in 1818.
