Kite Flying as a National Hobby

 



January is national hobbies month. Hobbies can help us all by taking pressure off of work and worries. For just a moment escape from reality and participate in a hobby. Hobbies can include exercising at the gym, working in the garden or with plants that are inside, cooking and discovering new recipes, getting out meeting others and volunteering, writing in a journal of your life like a diary or spending time reading a good book, and one of my favorites  traveling either local or longer distances. 

Here in this post I will share with you about a hobby that many around the world have listed as their hobby. Today, January 14 is national kite day. 



Kites were originally only enjoyed by the wealthy and royalty In the world today most that want to can enjoy flying kites. Hindus around the world believe that this day of kites helps to wake the God spirits from winter slumber. Early kites made in China for years before Christ kites were made from leaves of plants. 

Americans have celebrated flying kites by Ben Franklin since his discovery of Electricity in 1752. Th Notional day of kite flying has been around since the first one in 1989. Kites were also involved in historical means in Britain as well when they were used during their independence battle. The civil war in the United States to deliver newspapers and mail. However the debate of kites has went on both sides as they had been made illegal in Germany as many thought they would be used to escape the great wall. 

Take some time and look into kite flying today.  Perhaps it will become a new hobby for you.
