It’s Fun To Observe Obscure Holiday’s Around the Office!

One of the best ways to raise morale around the office is with holiday festivities.

Most professionals have come to expect the same routine celebrations each year for various holidays: wreaths and lights around Christmas, chocolate on Halloween and Valentine’s Day and no work on national holidays like Labor Day and Memorial Day. While these traditions lend themselves to great fun and community around the office, there are thousands of obscure holidays you could factor into your office calendar. Our original blog shared different obscure holidays than we are going to explore here. You can find that blog here http://onpointexecutivecenter.com/raising-office-morale-by-celebrating-obscure-holidays/

For example, August 31 is Eat Outside Day, September 10 is Swap Ideas Day and October 4 is Taco Day. Days of the Year is a site dedicated to random holidays that have been established by nonprofits, commercial brands and government agencies to celebrate quirky, specific themes. Surprising your coworkers with a yummy chocolate cake for Dessert Day, or setting up a taco bar in the office, can be unexpected and engaging ways to enhance office culture.

 On one hand, companies might try to be choosy about what they celebrate, and how often they indulge in obscure celebrations. Spamming your team with announcements about National Cat Video Day might verge on unprofessional, or lead to distractions in the workplace. But for companies whose tried-and-true holiday activities have gotten a little stale, thinking outside the box can be a fun and interesting way to break the ice in a busy office.
