July – 2022 Holidays and Observations
Happy July! This month marks the start of the Fiscal Year for many who are setting their goals for the 22-23 Fiscal Year. Summer is in full swing and people are gathering for Fourth of July celebrations.
Below you’ll find some month, week, and daylong celebrations/observations (mostly US based). They are holidays/observations related to the content of this site that we’ve selected to highlight. Maybe we missed some, maybe we added some you don’t think apply.
If you’re interested in Food/Drink/Travel holidays, check out our list of those holidays for July at our other site: Grecobon.
Which celebrations will you be observing?
Monthly Celebrations
Independent Retailer Month
Independent Retailer Month encourages us to show some love to local small businesses. Want a custom gift that you know isn’t mass produced and made with care? Look to a small business. They’re the businesses supporting your little league teams and rooting for students to succeed because they have a vested interest in the community.
Anti-Boredom Month
If you ask me, there’s never a reason to be bored. There is always something we can do to combat boredom. Learn a new skill or language, start a new book, start a business, see what you can gather around your house to donate to those in need or sell to work towards your savings goals. What other ways can you combat boredom this July?
Cell Phone Courtesy Month
July observes Cell Phone Courtesy Month which encourages all of us to look at our cell phone use around others. Cell phones have become a part of most of us. Many cant go a few minutes without checking theirs let alone hours. But when is it considered rude to be using our phones? Are you carrying on a loud conversation in a public place, ignoring friends and loved ones to check your phone for alerts that really aren’t that important? Think of your cell phone usage and if you’re being considerate to those around you.
Oh, and STOP USING IT WHILE DRIVING!!!!!!
Weeklong Observations
There are none this month. But if we reevaluate or any new weeks become announced in the future, we’ll be sure to add them here.
Daylong Celebrations/Observations
July 5 – National Workaholics Day
National Workaholics Day encourages all workaholics to add more home/work life balance into their routine. Take your lunch, go home on time, resist the urge to come in on weekends, knowing no one else is.
We are guilty of this ourselves, Matt can’t let a project go unfinished at the end of the day or week, and doesn’t want to wait until the next day or week to resume. Lora, though it may not always look like it, is constantly thinking all things blogs and crafts. We both love to keep busy and feel best when we are working on something we feel makes us efficient or productive.
Time to put the work aside, it’ll still be there tomorrow. Enjoy today.
July 10 – Global Energy Independence Day
Global Energy Independence Day calls for awareness of alternative forms of energy. Take this day to learn about renewable energy like wind, solar, and geothermal. Fossil fuels are more popular still, but one day they’re going to run out. In addition to that they pollute the air, water, and land. Scientists have been working on finding more renewable forms of energy to keep up with the energy needs of society.
July 16 – Toss Away the “Could Haves” and “Should Haves” Day
Toss Away the “Could Haves” and “Should Haves” Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in July. This day basically is a reminder to not go through life with regrets. Let go of the past and live for today. It is recommended to write down your “could haves” and “should haves” on a piece of paper, then throw away that list.
July 29 – National System Administrator Appreciation Day
Celebrated the last Friday in July, National System Administrator Appreciation Day recognizes the IT professionals who keep the world running. In a technology based society, system administrators are more important than ever. They fix issues, upgrade systems to keep up with demand, keep systems secure, and work to make sure things run smoothly.
That’s it, that’s July.
