Fun Holidays - Pillow Fight Day
Celebrated on 23 FebruaryFebruary is significant not only as Defender of the Fatherland Day; it is on this date that Pillow Fight Day is celebrated all over the world.
This funny celebration was invented not so long ago. The main goal is to maintain a person’s normal psychological state, reduce stress, and have a cheerful mood.
For a long time, students had pillow fights twice a year to relieve stress before taking exams. In 2005, in the USA, at one of the universities, students decided to stage the largest pillow fight in order to immortalize themselves in the book of records. Then everything turned into a flash mob on a global scale. Fans of fighting agreed to gather on one day at a specified time and fight on pillows in different parts of the planet. Since then, on February 23, residents of many countries have fun, organizing harmless fights in the streets.
The main task of the organizers is to create free entertainment around the world for people of any age and nationality. This is a vacation that helps relieve stress, lift your mood, improve your general condition, removing fatigue and accumulated negative emotions.
To participate, be sure to follow several nuances. First of all, the pillow should be soft, light, and not contain foreign objects inside. You cannot hit those around you who do not have pillows or those who are already tired or refuse to continue taking part in the battle. Special attention to people with a camera or camera - it is prohibited to touch them. If a man decides to beat a woman, then he must do it with half his strength. Be sure to remove all jewelry, glasses, contacts, etc. before starting.
Everyone who wants to fool around, just relax, gathers in squares or pre-agreed places, brings with them a weapon of battle - a pillow and, on command, begins to beat each other until their arms get tired. A huge wave of white feathers and padding flies around the area, creating a large cloud. Many participants wear funny costumes, funny masks, and makeup to cheer up those around them. The assembled guests decide for themselves how they will fight - “one on one” or “wall to wall”.
After the fun fight is over, all participants go to the nearest parks or clubs to continue resting and relaxing, but this time over a conversation along with a delicious lunch.
