National flashlight day is celebrated the 21st of December every year. Never heard of it?? Well neither had we til recently. No one is quite sure where the day came from or why we celebrate it December 21st. What we do know is that we rely on ours and our lil princess bought her daddy one for Christmas this year.
National flashlight day falls on winter solstice. If you did not know all ready winter solstice is always the longest night and shortest day of the year. Since there will be more darkness than usual there is more of need of a flashlight.
I hope you are safe and keep your flashlight shining.
I have flashlights but they probably need batteries. We do have a solar one though and a crank one.
ReplyDeletewow can not say that I know what a crank one is
DeleteSounds like a fun thing to do with the rest of the family. This is the first time I've heard of it, great idea!
ReplyDeleteFun! My kids love to play with flashlights!
ReplyDeleteI never knew there was a national flashlight day how canny.
ReplyDeleteI will have to mark that down for next year. How fun!
ReplyDeleteOh dear...there really is a day for everything...LOL
ReplyDeleteThe timing of the day makes perfect sense. Speaking of this, I should probably get some more batteries for mine.
ReplyDeletei don't even know where the flashlights in my house are anymore. i rely on the flashlight from my cell phone but i should probablyfigure out where the regular ones are too
ReplyDeleteI have an earthquake kit with flashlights but day to day use my app.
ReplyDeleteWoah! I didn't know this before, this is amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt's so funny what we do with a smartphone these days! Mine is my flashlight - I have the app for that! LOL
ReplyDeleteI need to put together an emergency kit with flashlights. thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of the National Flashlight Day before, but it sounds like a lot of fun! My daughter loves flashlights!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day and way to bring awareness to our need for flashlights :)
ReplyDeleteAs I live near the shore, we get hurricanes. I know where my flashlights are and batteries. Had no idea we can celebrate - it should be a big one for those of us with weather issues
