Daily Holidays - January 9 [View all]

National Apricot Day Not many people know that just three apricots will provide a person with a third of your daily beta carotene needs. This is just one of the benefits of this fruit that are celebrated on Apricot Day! Apricots are also rich in vitamin C, vitamin A and fibre. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/apricot-day/

National Static Electricity Day Static Electricity Day is a great excuse to play with static electricity! Rub a balloon to build up static, and then have fun by making your hair (or perhaps someone else’s) stand on end. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/static-electricity-day/
