Today we have holidays celebrating financial freedom, opposing religious oppression, ZIP codes, postage stamps, postal workers, jokes, gingersnap cookies, creative ice cream flavors, the country of Canada, and zoos: American Zoo Day Canada Day Chevalier de la Barre Day Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day International Joke Day National Financial Freedom Day National Gingersnap Day National Postal Workers Day U.S. Postage Stamp Day ZIP Code Day To help you celebrate, here are some creative ice cream flavors. With 3 post office holidays, today has a very postal feel to it. On this date in 1766 the Chevalier de la Barre was tortured/beheaded/burned by religious authorities for pretty stupid reasons. On this date in 1874 the Philadelphia Zoo opened; it was the first zoo in the US. Photo by Nikolay Tchaouchev on Unsplash
