February 2024 Holidays for the Workplace
Find out if it will be a long winter on Ground Hog's Day February 2nd. Then celebrate the Chinese New Year with your spirit animal.
Send a Card Day is Feb. 7, and provides the perfect opportunity early in the month to send business greeting cards- perhaps with another goodie enclosed - to top workers, or everybody, just to let them know they're appreciated.
Later in the month, No-Brainer Day is being celebrated on Feb. 27, and it's certainly a no-brainer for executives to celebrate the people who show up and work hard every day.

Other February Holidays
National Dark Chocolate Day
February 1st serves as national dark chocolate day, in which millions of Americans pay homage to this "healthier" semi-sweet chocolate treat.
National Carrot Cake Day
It seems February is full of days celebrating delicious dessert treats. February 3rd is no exception, as Americans recognize a delightfully sweet and nutritious carrot cake. While its origins are unknown, the earliest carrot cake recipe dates back to 1827, and has always been a popular treat.
National Homemade Soup Day
Since before modern transportation made food easy to acquire, families resorted to various soup recipes which made great use of leftover meals. This inexpensive and creative cuisine is now celebrated on February 4th, each year!
Valentine's Day
As weird as it may seem, Valentine's Day did not originate as a day of celebrating love, but served as a remembrance day for the slain St. Valentini martyrs in the 3rd century AD. It wasn't until Geoffrey Chaucer wrote about the mating of English birds around "Volantynys day" in the "Parlement of Foules" nearly 1000 years later. Educated Europeans of the time chose to send love letters to each other symbolizing the love birds, and Valentine's Day became what we celebrate to this day.
