When you think of July holidays, Independence Day is probably the first that comes to mind. There are a lot of holidays in July; here is a list of observances to celebrate each day this month – and, of course, ideas for celebrating them.
July 1: Zip Code Day – Honor this holiday by memorizing the zip codes for all the neighboring cities.
July 2: I Forgot Day – Today you don’t need an excuse; just say, “Sorry – I forgot.”
July 3: Compliment Your Mirror Day – Take a good look in the mirror and compliment the person you see on the other side.
