I hear it every morning on the my local ABC News affiliate, KVIA<\/a>. Today is national belly button lint day! Or, National Sour Candy Day! National Toe Jam Day! The early morning anchors are shared little packages of sour candies. And what determines if they\u2019re sharing candies or ripping off their shoes and digging out a healthy (?) portion of jam from in between their toes and sharing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re the celebrating type, or just need an official reason to enjoy those libations at night, there\u2019s a website to monitor – National Day Calendar<\/a>. There appears to be an abundance of apps to download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are planning to celebrate National Ice Cream Day, National Play Day, National Daiquiri Day, or National Friends With Words Day, you\u2019ll be sure to find something to celebrate every day. Today I\u2019ll be celebrating Ice Cream and Daiquiri days. I sometimes use tequila instead of rum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

There are National This, That, and the Other Days, but I could find no iCal subscription to import into my calendar. But there\u2019s a website for that. And plenty of apps.
