I love sharing silly holidays on social media. These posts may seem random, but believe it or not, they have a real purpose for my business and my audience (okay, most of the time).
1. It connects with my audience
Posting about silly holidays on social media gives me a way to share different kinds of content. Sometimes these holidays match days that matter to my audience — like Nonprofit Day or Small Business Saturday. Even if the holiday is funny, it can spark new conversations and build connections.
2. It builds my creativity
Silly holidays on social media also give me space to be creative. I get to test new video styles, learn editing tricks and how the Edits app works, and practice making reels. It’s an easy way to grow my skills without the pressure of a serious post.
3. It shows my daughter how business works
Another reason I post about silly holidays on social media is that it lets me share my work with my daughter. She sees the fun side of running a business — planning, filming, and even sending out a decorated potato. She learns that work can be creative, not just serious.
4. It’s just fun
At the end of the day, silly holidays on social media make running a business more fun. It’s a reminder that work doesn’t always have to feel heavy.
Final thought
Silly holidays on social media may look small, but they serve a big role. They keep me connected, creative, and—most importantly—having fun in business.
