Today is...

World Party Day

Today is World Party Day! World Party Day (or P-Day) is a synchronized global celebration that seeks to make the world a better place. The motto for this holiday is “Party is the opposite of War.” The idea behind it is that we can only create a better reality by taking positive action and celebrating life (instead of passively promoting peace).
The first World Party Day (known as World Party I) took place on April 3, 1996. The novel Flight by Vanna Bonta inspired the event. The story ends with a countdown to a mass celebration where all of humanity is united. Readers took the idea and organized a real worldwide party!
To celebrate World Party Day, throw a party, attend a party, enjoy some laughs, and just have fun! We have a good idea about where you can start planning your next celebration!
Today is also National Chocolate Mousse Day
 
April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month & National Grilled Cheese Month
