Funny holidays - Global Belly Laugh Day

Laughter makes people joyful and happy. Nothing helps you cope with troubles and easily overcome difficulties like a smile on your face and a positive attitude. January 24 is World Belly Laugh Day. Global Belly Laugh Day continues the tradition of April 1, during which people endlessly joke and prank each other. In honor of the holiday of January 24, it is customary to laugh literally until tears and pain in the cheekbones, facial and abdominal muscles. A mischievous look and a smile on your face encourage people around you to communicate. And if a person is also cheerful, knows how to joke appropriately and appreciates the humor of other people, he becomes the center of any company. World Belly Laughter Day was invented in order to create in the routine of everyday life a reason not just to smile, but to laugh homerically. The reason for fun can be an interesting observation from life, a new joke, a reprise by a comedian or stand-up comedian. The anticipation of fun has the same positive effect as laughter itself. By dilating blood vessels, it forces the circulatory system to work more actively. Not only does a person's face turn red from fun, but they also produce the hormone of happiness - endorphin, which is named after the Greek god Morpheus. The expression “Homeric laughter” is also associated with the inhabitants of Olympus, i.e. uncontrollable, loud. It was first used by Homer in his poem "The Odyssey". Zeus and other inhabitants of Olympus in the poem laughed deafeningly and loudly, not inferior in the power of expression of emotions to divine anger. Their example is worth taking note and practicing at Global Belly Laugh Day. The phraseological phrase “break your stomach with laughter” means uncontrollable laughter, literally to the point of tears and exhaustion. People who play sports professionally get muscle tears. And those who laugh loudly and for a long time only face discomfort and slight pain in the abdominal area. While laughing, a person tenses his abdominal muscles, which can be considered a kind of exercise or a pleasant workout that replaces sometimes tedious fitness classes. Another common expression is perfect for World Belly Laughter Day - “neighs like a horse.” This phraseological unit, despite its vernacular coloring, perfectly illustrates the holiday’s call for defiant and loud laughter. On this day, you should throw away any embarrassment, start fooling around and “laugh until you drop” - loudly and excitedly. As you already understand, January 24 is the perfect time to find a reason to laugh to your heart's content. Therefore, people on all continents happily celebrate World Belly Laughter Day every year.
