National Holidays
Jan. 8 - National JoyGerm Day 😃 !
NATIONAL JOYGERM DAY ACTIVITIES
Laugh!
It’s one of the easiest ways to spread happiness and boost other people’s moods. Laughter is infectious, and it mostly feels good when someone smiles at you, so smile and laugh this National JoyGerm Day to celebrate!
Tell silly jokes
You’ll probably get way more people to laugh than you would with another strategy. At the very least, people won’t feel worse than when you met them if they are already grumpy.
Volunteer to help people
Lending a helping hand voluntarily to help people with something they stress about is a genuine way to get them to be happy.
Jan 19. National Popcorn Day 🍿 !
Happy National Popcorn Day !
