Read a Book Day
Reading is a wonderful and invaluable hobby. Obviously, we need to be able to read for countless things in our daily lives. Basically, there are many reasons to open up a book. Books teach and inform us. They expand our minds in a positive way, often stoking our imagination. Books take us on amazing adventures to faraway and exciting places. Some of them fill us with suspense as we seek to identify “who done it” mysteries. And, perhaps best of all, reading is relaxing.
Reading a book is the perfect way to relax and enjoy a quiet evening on September holidays. So, turn off the television. Then, settle into your favorite cozy chair and open up a new book in whatever genre you enjoy most. If you doze off while reading a book, we won’t tell anyone.

911 Remembrance Day
Everyone who was at least four or five years old at the time will remember where they were on September 11, 2001. We will undoubtedly forever recall the emotions as we watched the Twin Trade Towers in New York City collapse after two planes hijacked by terrorists hit the buildings.
On this day, people around the world pause to remember that event and the sheer horror that ensued. While the majority of victims in the towers were fellow Americans, people from many other countries lost their lives that day, too.
Similar to other disasters, 911 brought Americans together and united us. Spend a few minutes reflecting upon this event. And, use the emotions of this day to help bring unity to our country as we commemorate 911 Remembrance Day.
Fortune Cookie Day
This holiday just might be your lucky day. Chinese fortune cookies are fun. They taste good, too. And, they always offer a positive, uplifting, or inciteful “fortune”.
You most likely think of Chinese fortune cookies as originating in China. That makes sense, right!? Surprisingly, they were invented in California. There are two competing sources claiming to be the inventor. One is from Los Angeles, and the other is from San Francisco. And, one of them is a Japanese Tea Garden!
Grab an online fortune cookie, find them at a Chinese restaurant, or from your local grocery store. And, if you’re adventuresome, try your luck at the Fortune Pumpkin.

National Quesadilla Day
What’s for dinner tonight? If you like Mexican food, you’re just gonna love this September holiday. Even many people who aren’t fond of Tex-Mex cuisine find that they enjoy them. Basically, a quesadilla has two flour or corn tortillas with shredded cheese in the middle. Other items cooked inside of it, or used as a topping make them irresistible to most people. Quesadillas are a popular appetizer. Additionally, they also make a great light meal, too.
Break out your Quesadilla maker today and make them yourself. They are easy to make in minutes. Then, you can add your favorite toppings. Or, head out to a Mexican or Tex-Mex restaurant. Certainly, you’re going to have a great meal!
While this is a national holiday, it would be more appropriate as an international holiday because people around the world love them. Learn more about National Quesadilla Day.
