Croissants, Yodeling, and Great Escapes: It's a Wild Friday on the Calendar!
Friday, January 30th is serving up a deliciously quirky lineup of holidays, and Jerry Steffen broke it all down on Hashtag Holiday Calendar and Pop Quiz.
First up: National Croissant Day. Those buttery, flaky crescents of perfection deserve their moment in the spotlight. Whether you like yours plain, slathered with butter, or loaded up with sausage, egg, and cheese for a breakfast upgrade, today's the day to indulge.
Next, things get a little weird with Yodel for Your Neighbor's Day. The idea is to use yodeling as a way to connect with the folks next door. Will it spark new friendships or just earn you some sideways glances? We'll let you decide.
Finally, National Escape Day encourages everyone to step away from the daily grind—book a spa day, take a nap, or simply power down the devices.
Speaking of escapes, Jerry put the morning crew to the test with two themed trivia questions. Think you can do better? Here's your chance:
