When do you want to be from?
Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day – December 8
Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day is celebrated on December 8, but on that day you can imagine that it is already June. Or maybe you’d prefer to be in the 1860s, celebrating the end of the Civil War.
Would you like to spend the day with a young Shakespeare in the 1580s or riding the USS Enterprise as you explore the world in 2250? Why not? Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day is the perfect day to take these journeys.
If your imagination isn’t enough to take you time traveling, there are plenty of movies to take you onto a trip through time, like The Time Traveler’s Wife, When We First Met, A Wrinkle in Time, or any of the Bill & Ted movies (the most recent one was released last August). Watching any of these movies would be a good way to spend the day with family and friends.
According to https://www.wired.com/2007/12/pretend-to-be-a/, Pretend to Be a Time Traveler Day was created in 2007 by the Koala Wallop online community. It is a day just for the humor and unforgettable experiences you can create on this day.
For this day, you could ask strangers what year it is and respond in horror, ask them WHEN they are from, or regard everything you see with curious fascination. The possibilities are endless, and the opportunity is timeless!
