JAN 2, 26.. DAY 2 OF 2026.. SCI-FI.. GET IN SHAPE.. RUN IT UP THE FLAGPOLE..
Below are three NATIONAL TODAY Holidays that caught our eyes.
SCI-FI is short for Science Fiction.
This was Number 1 on the list of Holidays for today, January 2nd.
National Science Fiction Day is celebrated on January 2.
For me, the one and the only SCI-FI Movie that has ever “captured and absolutely fascinated me” was Close Encounters of The Third Kind.
I can hardly believe that it was just over two years ago, on Google Blogspot, we did a Post about it. Thanks To You Michael 86403!

If you’re fascinated by the unknown and by the possibilities of what science can bring in the future, you probably would be.. or already are.. a fan of science fiction.

The below Holiday really perked my interest.
National Personal Trainer Day is an annual day of observance on January 2.
During the first days of any New Year, many people start working toward their New Year fitness resolutions. Personal trainers guide, motivate, and train you to exercise correctly. Without them, many injuries can happen due to bad form or incorrect use of the equipment, so they are a vital, often overlooked part of society. Personal trainers should get the credit they deserve for the great work they do.
Use this day to get started on your fitness journey. Exercising is vital to staying fit and healthy. Start with simple walks if you’re not up for intense workouts, but hire a personal trainer so that you can get it right from the very beginning of your journey.

Last we have a Holiday for a very familiar saying!
We’ll just bet many, if not most of you have heard..
“Run It Up the Flagpole and See If Anyone Salutes,” means to test out new ideas.
I am sure I can hear some of you chuckling to yourselves!!
BUT??
Why a Holiday??
Run it Up the Flagpole and See If Anyone Salutes it Day falls on January 2 every year.
There are other similar phrases expressing the same concept. “Send up a trial balloon” .. “Throw it against the wall and see if it sticks” .. “Drop it in the pool and see if it makes a splash.”
