Microwave Oven Day

National Microwave Oven Day is celebrated annually on December 6th. This day recognizes the invention of the microwave oven and its impact on modern kitchens worldwide.

History of the Microwave:

The microwave was accidentally invented in 1945 by Percy Spencer, an engineer working for Raytheon, when he noticed that a candy bar in his pocket melted while he was near a magnetron. By 1947, the first commercial microwave, the Radarange, was introduced, though it was large and expensive. Over time, the microwave became smaller, more affordable, and a common household appliance.

Ways to Celebrate:

  • Cook something fun: Try a mug cake, popcorn, or a quick microwave recipe.
  • Experiment: Test out new uses for your microwave, like reheating leftovers or defrosting frozen goods.
  • Appreciate its convenience: Reflect on how much time this invention has saved you!
  • Share recipes: Exchange microwave-friendly recipes with friends and family.

Day of the Ninja

Day of the Ninja is celebrated on December 5th every year. It started as a humorous counterpoint to the International Talk Like a Pirate Day (September 19th) and is a playful homage to ninjas, the stealthy and skilled agents of Japanese history and pop culture.

The day encourages dressing like a ninja, performing “ninja moves,” and engaging in ninja-themed fun. It’s a lighthearted celebration often embraced by fans of martial arts, anime, and samurai-era history. If you’re planning to celebrate, consider watching ninja movies, sneaking around playfully, or creating some ninja-themed crafts.
