National Hat Day and other fun facts.

Sometimes I feel as though the calendar is filled with a huge collection of bizarre holidays that we don't even know about... but wouldn't it make life more interesting if we celebrated more of them? I'm super thrilled to know that January 19th is National Popcorn Day, February 1st is Bubble Gum day,and I don't mind marking down that May 6th is No Diet Day!




Another fun holiday that is right around the corner is National Hat Day on January 15th.



A day set aside to wear and enjoy a hat of your choosing, there couldn't be a better time to pick out your favorite shape, size, color and style and display it proudly.But just as Valentine's Day is symbolized by the heart and Halloween wouldn't be the same without jack-o-lanterns, Arby's has decided that National Hat Day needs a symbol as well. And what would be more appropriate than paying homage to the iconic ten-gallon hat than by declaring it the national hat of America?

That's right, Arby's is preparing to celebrate National Hat Day in the grandest way possible and has introduced a White House petition to declare the ten-gallon hat the national hat of America. Head over there and sign it to show your support!
