National Champagne Day While true champagne only comes from Frances Champagne region, there is plenty of bubbly available from Italy, California and even the South of France. Ringing in the New Year is the perfect opportunity each year to celebrate National Champagne Day. http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/Make Up Your Mind Day Make Up Your Mind Day just goes to show that there really is a day for everything. This one is aimed at those who may be just a little (or a lot) indecisive. So to all you undecided people out there: no matter whether you have a habit annoying your friends by struggling to pick a dish at a restaurant, or trying to decide if youre really, really ready for that career change, this is the one day when the choice has to be made. No excuses, no procrastination, no ands, ifs or butsthis day is your chance to stop putting things off for fear of responsibility and get things done. And what a better day to do this than New Years Eve, when youre standing on the brink of a whole New Year and perhaps wondering what you could do to make it your own? While it may seem a little scary at first, especially to those unaccustomed to being decisive, the ultimate goal is to take control of you life by making a decision and sticking with it. Its celebrated by being brave and taking chances, and by learning something new about yourself along the way. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/make-up-your-mind-day/
New Years Eve Also known as Old Years Day or Saint Sylvesters Day, New Years Eve is celebrated annually on December 31st. http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/
No Interruptions Day December 31st is, for those unlucky enough to not be on holiday, the last working day of the year. Thankfully, things tend to be quiet at the office between Christmas and New Year, and No Interruptions Day capitalises on this to encourage some productivity by getting people to ignore chatty co-workers, turn off their inboxes, unplug their phones and get some work done. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/no-interruptions-day/

Throw a few cabers, drag fireballs through the streets, and eat some haggis! Maybe next year, we in America will be able to make real haggis. They're de-regulating everything else, no reason not to sell sheep bladders.
