National Bobblehead Day is celebrated.

January 7 is National Bobblehead Day.

Originating in 18th century Germany, bobbleheads were first known as 'nodder figures.'

They were made popular in the U.S. after MLB began creating baseball specific figurines, depicting fan favorite players such as Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays.

Today, you can find bobbleheads of pretty much anyone, whether it be politicians, celebrities, professional athletes, or fictional characters.

National Tempura Day is also recognized.

Most commonly used when preparing veggies and fish, tempura is a popular Japanese dish coated in a thin layer of deep fried batter.

Tempura batter is light, typically made from flour, egg yolks, and ice water, and is deep fried to perfection in vegetable oil.

It is also regularly used in sushi dishes, shrimp tempura being one of the most popular.

Celebrate the holiday by ordering a tempura dish from a local Japanese restaurant, or even try making your own at home.
