National Noodle Ring Day Because of their striking look and simplicity, noodle rings have been a favorite of dinner parties for generations. Even though they arent difficult to make, noodle rings can easily take up the centerpiece of any dinner table. They can be a great treat for vegetarians but work well with chicken and sauce too the possibilities are endless. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/noodle-ring-day/World Choral Day If there is one thing that has the ability to unify the world its music. Throughout the centuries it has had the power to bring people together from many different cultural backgrounds, enhancing peace and social togetherness. Music helps people to bond in many different ways, from making friends at different musical concerts, to allowing adults and children to dance and have fun in their own homes. If there is an aspect of talent that can be said to be universally wonderful, its to be musically inclined. There are no words that can describe how powerful music can really be when shared in the cause of peace and togetherness. World Choral Day is dedicated to those very principles, a world-wide goal to bring peace and harmony through the musical arts. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-choral-day/
International Mountain Day Towering, majestic, and beautiful. Mountains are some of the most beautiful of natures structures, stolid and regal they stand against the sky, of such a size that they can catch entire countrysides in their shadow, and turn back the ravages of storms against their unflinching sides. They are the source of recreation and resource, with snow covered sides providing ski slopes to enthusiasts, and minerals in abundance to those brave enough to delve into their stony sides. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/mountain-day/
Worldwide Candle Lighting Day For hundreds of years, lighting a candle has been a way to show respect for those that have died. This beautiful gesture shows that although someone may be gone from this world, their memory will endure, and the light of their flame will continue to inspire and guide others. Worldwide Candle Lighting Day is a celebration of solidarity and memory. Its a day on which people around the world gather to light candles for children who have died and to show that they will always be loved and never forgotten. The candles are lit at the same time in every time zone, meaning that a consistent warm glow passes around the planet for a full 24-hour day. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/worldwide-candle-lighting-day/

but, that's the cool part of doing this I learn about a bunch of stuff. Some of it useful, some less so, but it's much better than watching the news!
