Daily Holidays - January 29

Curmudgeons Day Curmudgeons Day is one of those holidays most people find hard to believe is real. There’s no need to worry, though, because you don’t have to be grumpy to celebrate it. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/curmudgeons-day/

Freethinkers Day Freethinkers Day falls on the birthday of Thomas Paine, a prominent thinker whose work and publications promoting a philosophy of Enlightenment heavily influenced the course of the American and French revolutions. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/freethinkers-day/

National Puzzle Day With the advent of digital entertainment, the common puzzle may be falling by the wayside. Puzzle Day is your chance to go back to basics; do a jigsaw, solve a crossword or buy a Rubik’s Cube and frustrate your friends! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/puzzle-day/

Corn Chip Day Corn chips are a snack food made by frying or baking cornmeal into bite-sized pieces, sold in a bag and eaten either alone or with a dip. Though it’s origins are unclear, Corn Chip Day celebrates this popular snack and the many ways of enjoying it. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/cornchip-day/

Although I suppose one does not strictly require the other.
