Depending where you are in the Valley, it's either raining or snowing but sounds like a great day to enjoy some popcorn.

Popcorn? Personally I am not a huge fan, I guess I fall into that 8% that does not like popcorn. Maybe kettle corn if I'm really feeling wild.

According to nationaltoday.com, "Would you believe that humans have been eating popcorn for over 5000 years (and some historians believe longer)! While it was always a popular snack, popcorn “popped” to consumption levels during World War II when sugar rations made candy and other snack food very hard to come by. Since then, with movies and the microwave, popcorn is well-ensconced in American culture as an often healthy and fast treat"!

How can you celebrate National Popcorn day? Some office Olympics perhaps?

1.  Make Popcorn Jewelry
Why not make a long necklace for you, friends, family members—even strangers. It will definitely make you the most popular person at the office happy hour. 😉

2.  Plan a Movie Marathon
Three weeks into January? Chances are you just want to hide and eat comfort food—but, your resolutions. There’s a win-win! Tee up your favorite Star Wars Trilogy and pop a big bowl of popcorn. You can enjoy the wisdom of Yoda and keep to your diet. (A little olive oil and salt with the carb-y goodness of the popcorn may just hit the spot!)

3.  Put on the Popcorn Olympics at Your Office
Popcorn basketball, popcorn air hockey, popcorn relay race? After you finish filming your mannequin challenge, burn off your pent up energy. It will definitely keep you on your toes
