What day is it? Before I answer that, see if you know what Boxing Day, First Day of Hanukkah, Proclamation Day, Father’s Day, Christmas Holiday, Bank Holiday, National Day of Thanksgiving, Independence and Unity Day, and Day of Goodwill have in common?
Give up?
Here’s how those holidays line up:
- Boxing Day – Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla, Austria, Australia, Aruba, and 100 more …
- First Day of Hanukkah – Australia, Canada, Israel, United Kingdom, United States
- Proclamation Day – Australia
- Father’s Day – Bulgaria
- Christmas Holiday – Iraq
- Bank Holiday – Malta
- National Day of Thanksgiving – Solomon Islands
- Independence and Unity Day – Slovenia
- Day of Goodwill – South Africa
OK, that being said, what day is it?
And the answer is, ALL those days. But what day is that? That day is this day. Today. All those holidays are celebrated on December 26th. And, armed with that information, I bet you’ll be able to conquer the rest of 2024 as if there were only a few, puny days left.
As I write this, there are literally only 5 other days of 2024 left after today. And two of those are Saturday and Sunday. Plus, the last day doesn’t count because most everybody counts it as a party day. So, that only leaves Friday, Monday, and Tuesday to get any work done.
But let’s be honest. Who’s gonna wanna get back to work after Christmas festivities and a weekend, only to work two days, and then go back into party mode?
Oh, I think I actually saw a hand or two in the air. Awesome. Two hips and hooray to you. We’ll be at it over here at the FunderHaus, too. Because we understand the blessing and privilege of working. Especially when most others will look for opportunities to goof off. Because we’ve seen how the end of one year can be an excellent springboard for the beginning of another.
So, I just wanted to take the time to wish you a solid springboard kinda day today. And I’d love to hear what put the spring in there for you, if you break the mold and work in the next few days.
Till next time, Happy Thank You Note Day.
Once you see the benefit, join the growing body of believers who’ve already signed up for the FunderFlash Journal. And I’ll send you daily flashes of light so we can stay focused on faith, hope, and love.
Stay tuned…
