Daily Holidays - February 9 [View all]

National Bagel Day National Bagel Day (formerly Bagel and Lox Day) is observed annually on February 9th.

Bagels are one of the few breads that are boiled then baked. This creates a soft inside while keeping a crisp outside. Bagels originated in Poland in the early 17th century and now sell over a billion dollars worth each year in the United States. http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-bagel-and-lox-day-february-9/

National Pizza Day is observed annually on February 9th. Whether it is thin crust, Chicago style, deep dish or anything in between, pizza is an American favorite. http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-pizza-day-february-9/

National Stop Bullying Day It’s time to stop bullying – whether it’s in the playground, the home or the workplace. World Day of Bullying Prevention encourages you to try and stop the bullying in your environment or life, and to work together to eradicate bullying all together. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/stop-bullying-day/

Read in the Bathtub Day Disconnect the phone, lock the door, turn down the lights and pick out your favourite book safe in the knowledge that all you’ve got to worry about is enjoying yourself. Why not splash out on some scented candles, posh bubblebath and – for the more adventurous – a rubber ducky to keep you company? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/read-in-the-bathtub-day/

Toothache Day Toothaches are no fun, and so you will no doubt be surprised to learn that Toothache Day exists. Don’t be alarmed, though. This day is certainly not about celebrating the dreaded toothache. No way! Instead, Toothache Day is actually more about education and awareness and helping people learn how to prevent them happening to begin with and how best to make them go away, and quick! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/toothache-day/
