"The Dutchess Who Wasn't" Day
Books penned by Margaret Wolfe Hungerford, aka The Dutchess

Burger Day
A burger doesn't have to be made just from ground beef. Try chicken, turkey, buffalo, veggie patties, what else do you like to make into a burger?
I'm a fan of the burger myself.  Our family likes Red Robin a lot and they have great burgers of all kinds. In fact just thinking about them is making my mouth water. Red Robin...YUMMMMMM.
(You are not going to regret clicking on that link!)

Make your own today using one of these recipes - branch out and try a different kind!

Global Forgiveness Day
Forgiveness is one of the most powerful experiences for both the forgiver and the forgivee.  So on this day of global forgiveness I encourage you to watch these videos about the importance and power of forgiveness. They say all the things I would anyway!
The Science of Happiness - Forgive and Forget

Do you need to extend forgiveness today to someone?


Just Because Day
Today is a day to do whatever you want...just because!
Why not make someone's day by treating them just because?!
I love the idea of just because.  It doesn't need to be a birthday or an anniversary or anything like that. You can celebrate people just because!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
