New Year's is a holiday about looking ahead. You might be wondering what 2018 will bring. Will there be a huge snowstorm? Will your soccer team win the big tournament? Will summer vacation arrive faster than you expected? We can't promise any of those things will happen, but we hope this year is filled with fun. To help you enjoy 2018, we've created our own calendar with holidays you may not have heard about. These holidays might inspire you to appreciate something, try something new or do something silly. At least we hope they help you think positively (see September) about the months, weeks and days to come.

Penguin Awareness Day (January 20): These waddling sea birds are adorable, but what do you know about them? Spend time today searching for fun facts about some of the 17 penguin species and how they survive in some of Earth's coldest places.
