All of

and explore the cultural and historic significance of dragons.

is also intended to celebrate literacy. So, reach for a book about dragons, and
read it today!
Other
ways to celebrate this day:

dragon poems or stories.

puppet show.

Most
famous Friendly Dragon: Puff the Magic Dragon.

National Hat Day = 1-15-2017
National
Hat Day = 1-15-2017
Today we
celebrate National Hat Day
National
Hat Day is set aside to wear and enjoy a hat of your choice and style. Isn't it
great that hats come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles? There's one to
fit every size head and personality.
Hats are
used to make a statement, or to promote a cause or a product. Back in 1797, the
introduction of the Top Hat almost caused a riot. The top hat was first worn by
James Heatherington in London England. As Heatherington strolled through the
streets of London, England displaying his Top Hat, crowds gathered, Some people
began to push and shove. Heatherington was fined for "going about in a
manner that frightened timid people".
Oh
yeah... hats have logical uses, too. Some hats (Aka helmets), offer safety
protection. Some hats keep your head warm, or the sun out of your eyes....
how
boring.
National
Hat Day is not intended to just keep your noggin warm. Its a chance to make a
statement and to display your favorite headgear.
Why not
wear a number of different hats over the course of the day.
Did you
know? More body heat is lost from your head than other parts of the body.
So, wearing a hat goes a long way towards staying warm on a cold winter's day
(or night).
