The ????? ??????? ????????practice of social distancing is necessary to help "flatten the curve" and slow the spread of COVID-19, but that doesn't mean it's been easy.

Staying home every day and physically isolating yourself from loved ones can get lonely, and even sad at times. Though the president has recently talked about reopening the country, each state's governors will ultimately decide when it's safe for residents to be out and about again.

While we wait for life to return to something resembling normal, we thought we'd help you try to make quarantine life as fun as possible. We scoured online resources and compiled a list of 53 fun, lesser-known holidays that you can celebrate over the next four months.

Some holidays are food and beverage related, others are more heartfelt and reflective, a few celebrate animals, and several will make for perfect for Instagram throwback posts. But each of these holidays, no matter how small or silly, will give you something to look forward to this summer.

From Star WarsDay to National French Fry Day, here are 53 national and international holidays you never knew you needed.
