August 14th is a holiday for creamsicles, lizards, romance, money and more. Loving husbands, senior citizens and other celebrants mark August 14th as a holiday for many reasons. Let's take a look at several popular August 14th holidays (arranged alphabetically). Creamsicle Day Slurp! Can anything beat a frosty creamsicle on a hot summer day? August 14th is Creamsicle Day, so calories don't count - as long as you finish your creamsicle before it melts right down your arm. What is a creamsicle? Originally produced as a brand-name frozen dessert on a stick, a creamsicle is an ice cream popsicle. The inside of a creamsicle usually contains vanilla ice cream, which is coated with a fruit-flavored ice (most often orange). The fudgsicle, a related item, is a solid frozen pop made of chocolate ice cream (or chocolate-flavored ice). Financial Awareness Day How well do you know your money? August 14th is Financial Awareness Day. Accounting groups and economic advisors present financial planning classes and cash management seminars on this fiscally responsible holiday each summer. Even online gaming sites get into the act on Financial Awareness Day, highlighting activities that raise public awareness of money matters. Husbands in Love Day August 14th is Husbands in Love Day, celebrating masculine spouses who still bring the magic to marriage. Are you a husband in love with your wife? Are you a wife who still feels loved by your husband? If you are, then August 14th is for you. Modern romantic novelist Nicholas Sparks (Dear John, The Last Song, Message in a Bottle, Nights in Rodanthe, The Notebook and A Walk to Remember) said this about husbands in love: "I think that men know how to romance a woman and most do it well, at least for a time, otherwise women wouldn't marry them. The problem is that most of them begin to rest on their laurels." Would you agree or disagree with Nicholas Sparks on this point? Perhaps coincidentally, August 14th is also Romance Day (see below). Summer Romance Day Summer romance is the stuff of paperback novels and fairytales, but this elusive enchantment may come to life on August 14th. It's Summer Romance Day. Fictional fantasies of flirtations and flings, liaisons and love stories and affairs of the heart are celebrated on this occasion. Why not sweeten (or spice) things up a bit with the one you love on August 14th? After all, it's Summer Romance Day. World Lizard Day Globally, geckos and other reptilian wonders are feted on August 14th. It's World Lizard Day. Libraries create special displays of reptile-related books. Toy stores showcase dinosaurs and lizard toys in their front windows. Science museums offer lizard lectures, exhibits, grand gila events and tours to mark World Lizard Day on August 14th. Many museums even promote discounted admission prices to celebrate World Lizard Day on August 14th. Don't be dragon your feet on August 14th. Iguana have a great time on World Lizard Day ... don't you? Chameleon along for reptilian fun.
