New Years Day A Happy, Safe & Healthy 2017 to All!Bloody Mary Day Bloody Mary Day celebrates the drinking of the Bloody Mary cocktail, which is described by some as the perfect hangover cure despite containing the very thing that made you hung over in the first place: alcohol! The Bloody Mary is most often made with vodka, tomato juice and some spices, served on the rocks with a celery stalk or a dill pickle. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/bloody-mary-day/
Commitment Day I do. I will. I promise. I vow. Such lovely words These words have long invoked sweet feelings of assurance and hopefulness, and have been used in marriage vows and such for likely just as long. Commitment is beautiful thing, and Commitment Day is a day when you can show that special person in your life just how much they mean to you by committing in some way to them. Or perhaps theres some sort of activity youve been meaning to start (or stop!) for a long whileCommitment Day is your chance to say, right, thats it, Im going for it, and I am going to stick with it! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/commitment-day/
Polar Bear Plunge or Swim Day Strip down to your bathing suit, take a few steps over the snow and ice covering the ground, and hurl your body into ice-cold water. Sound like fun? Well, there are plenty of people who think it does, and these people get together to to this every year! Sometimes its for charity and sometimes its just for a challenge, but either way, thousands of people worldwide take to the icy winter waters every year. These swims are understandably called Polar Bear Swims, and they usually take place in the sea. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/polar-bear-swim-day/

We have reached a point in human history when nothing can be said that can not sound like sarcasm.
