I’m sure you are tired of the cheesy jokes. Just like “Life is short, but you’re shorter” – Well, today is about you.

Marrakech – So, you know how some days feel like they’re made just for you? 

Like when you finally get that perfect pair of jeans or when you walk into a room and yes, your outfit is a hit? 

Well, December 22 is one of those days for the vertically challenged among us. 

It’s National Short Person Day, a celebration of the small but mighty; those pocket-sized powerhouses who prove that good things do come in small packages.

Now, let’s get one thing straight: this isn’t just a “short joke” holiday. This is a day to appreciate the benefits of being closer to the ground. 

We’re talking about the sheer joy of never worrying about things on high shelves (I mean, who needs a ladder when you’re basically a human step stool?). 

And let’s not forget that perfect viewpoint at concerts, where you can’t see anything, but hey, you’re not blocking anyone else’s view. 

Short people know how to make their presence felt.

But National Short Person Day isn’t just about the perks. 

It’s a reminder to flip the script on societal norms. It’s not about being “less than” someone tall, it’s about being uniquely you. 

The world may not always build things with you in mind (those kitchen counters though), but that’s where the magic happens — because short people learn to stand out in other ways. 

Whether it’s through wit, charm, or a killer sense of style, they’ve mastered the art of owning any room they walk into.

Let’s talk about confidence, too. Being short means you don’t blend into the crowd; you’ve got to shine. 

And if you’ve ever been told “You’re too small for that!” (looking at you, fashion world), well, you’ve also mastered the art of proving them wrong. 

Who says you can’t rock that floor-length gown? You’ll show them it’s not about height, but about attitude.

So, on this special day, let’s raise a glass (probably a little higher than usual, unless you have a tall friend nearby) to all the short legends out there. 

Let’s give a little extra love to the ones who keep us laughing with their perfectly timed sass, who can slip into the best spots at the party, and who’ve learned to navigate life like a boss despite having to look up at the world.

To all the shorties out there: you may not be towering over the crowd, but you’re certainly standing tall in your own way. 

Happy National Short Person Day! You’re the true giants of the world.
