It’s a lot of fun to celebrate #FoodHolidays that compliment each other like the following holidays on August 18th, 2025. Let’s start with National Fajita Day #NationalFajitaDay. I don’t know about you but David, Charlie and myself love #Fajita’s and it would have been nice to go out to dinner tonight but there isn’t money for eating out this week.
I could surprise Charlie and David and make Fajita’s at home but that means I would need to go shopping and that isn’t happening either. Instead we will go out later in the week when David gets paid and celebrate all these fun Food Holidays. Would you want to go with us?
August 18th is also National Ice Cream Pie Day #IceCreamPieDay which Charlie hasn’t ever had. But Charlie isn’t much for sweets and may not want to try National Ice Cream Pie Day but that wouldn’t stop you and I from having a slice would it?
Then I also found out on August 18th it’s Cupcake Day (Australia) #RspcaCupcakeDay in Australia and even though we don’t live in Australia we could join them in the celebration and have a Cupcake or two which would go with our Fajita’s and Ice Cream Pie.
Now which of these #Holidays would you most like to celebrate and why?
