April 7th, 2012, is International Pillow Fight Day, Tangible Karma Day, International Snailpapers Day, National Love Our Children Day, International Beaver Day, Metric System Day, National No Housework Day, Beer Is Back Day, Legal Beer Day, 3.2 Day, Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Rwanda Genocide, Holy Saturday, Easter Even, Lazarus Saturday, World Health Day, and National Coffee Cake Day.
In 2008, the first Worldwide Pillow Fight Day included the first international flash mob. The event, now known as International Pillow Fight Day, features pillow fights all across the globe. Feathers will fly!
The first Saturday in April is Tangible Karma Day. What kind of karma will pillow fighting get you, do you suppose? The founders of Tangible Karma Day ask everyone - groups and individuals - to set aside an hour today to "purposefully become aware of the needs of those they are in contact with and actively do something to help fulfill those needs." Who could argue with such a sentiment?
International Snailpapers Day celebrates the survival (so far) of print newspapers. If you're reading this blog, though, you're part of the getting-your-news-online problem. Thanks, I think! Just for old time's sake, consider picking up an actual newspaper from a newsstand.
The first Saturday in April is National Love Our Children Day, sponsored by Love Our Children USA as a part of National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
I almost forgot that today is International Beaver Day. Dam!
Metric System Day promotes a system of measurement that's much more logical than the avoirdupois system and other customary units we use in the United States. When I'm president, we'll change that!
National No Housework Day is self-explanatory. Just don't do any housework. Of course, you might want to clean up the feathers after your pillow fight....nah.
While you're busy not doing any housework, have a beer! Beer Is Back Day commemorates the end of Prohibition in the United States, for 3.2 beer anyway. The holiday is also known as Legal Beer Day or 3.2 Day.
Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Rwanda Genocide reminds us all of a terrible time in the history of Rwanda, 1994, when 800,000 people were murdered.
Holy Saturday, also known as Easter Even, is the day before Easter. On this day, Jesus rested in the tomb.
The Orthodox Church observes Lazarus Saturday today.
World Health Day commemorates the founding of the World Health Organization in 1948. The theme for 2012 is Aging and Health.
What's for breakfast (or dessert)? Well, today is National Coffee Cake Day, so enjoy your favorite coffee cake, whether crumbly, fruit-filled, or topped with nuts. Delicious with a cup of coffee, as the name implies.
