National TV Dinner Day
September 10, Wednesday
History of the holiday
The tradition of having dinner in front of the TV began in the mid-20th century, when televisions started appearing in American households in large numbers. In the 1950s, special "TV dinners" even appeared — ready-to-eat frozen meals in packages that could be quickly heated and eaten while sitting in front of the screen. Since then, dining in front of the television has become a symbol of comfort, relaxation after work, and family leisure.
How it is celebrated
* Prepare or buy favorite dishes to combine a tasty dinner with watching a TV show or movie.
* Gather with the whole family in front of the screen, creating an atmosphere of shared relaxation.
* Organize a "TV marathon," watching several episodes of a favorite series at once.
* Share photos and impressions on social media, marking this unusual day.
