Daily Holidays - September 18

National
 Cheeseburger Day Cheeseburger day is celebrated annually on the 18th September. This celebration of one of the most iconic and delicious foods of the USA, has been taking place every year since the early part of the Roaring 20s era. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/cheeseburger-day/

Hug A Greeting Card Writer Day Do you want to say it with a verse, a cartoon or a joke? Then there’s bound to be a card to suit the occasion! Hug a Greeting Card Writer Day offers a chance to thank the unsung heroes who somehow find the right words to express our feelings. The first greeting cards are thought to have been sent in Germany back in the 15th century. Today, it’s estimated that around 170 billion cards are sent worldwide each year. The modest people who write all the poems and messages are usually anonymous, but now they have been given a special day to honour their talents. You could celebrate by signing up for a course in how to create your own greeting cards, or entering a contest on the theme. Alternatively, visit a museum featuring vintage cards, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/hug-a-greeting-card-writer-day/

National Respect Day Taking part each September, Respect Day has been created to encourage people to focus more on ways in which they can be respectful to others. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/respect-day/

World Water Monitoring Day Water is a precious commodity, and one which we tend to take for granted – until supplies run short. Water Monitoring Day promotes considerate usage of water, so as to preserve resources and ensure that water is available where and when it’s needed most. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/water-monitoring-day/
