International Animal Rights Day
Every year, on December 10th, animal rights campaigners around the world try to persuade people that kindness and compassion are due to all sentient beings. Animals are obviously included in this, of course.
National Lager Day

Nobel Prize Day
Nobel Prize Day on December 10th honors Alfred Nobel's annual award, which was established by Alfred Nobel. On November 27, 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his third and last will at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris. Nobel Prize Laurel was the first and read after his death, causing a lot of controversy both in Sweden and internationally, as Nobel had left a lot of his money to establish a prize. He family opposed establishing the Nobel Prize, and the award winners, who had been named, refused to do what he had requested in his will. In 1901, it was five years before the first Nobel Prize was awarded in 1901.
