International Eat Like A Sumo Day is on January 26th every year. This holiday was started because of a famous brother and sisters birthdays. The famous brother's birthday is on Jan. 25th, and the sister's is Jan. 27th. On International Eat Like A Sumo Day peoople invite friends and relatives to their house and make everyones' favorite foods. Around lunch time the guests arrive and are given a special tray painted with a sumo onto it. Each person takes their sumo tray and goes through a gargantuan buffet line to fill their trays with a choice of around 30 different types of foods. Then the guests choose whereever they want to sit or stand and eat their foods as fast as you can. When your done they put their tray in a labeled tray holder to use again later.
After eating, guests go in separate rooms and change into their purchased sumo suits to get ready for wrestling. Next, they divide into a boys and girls group. Each individual rolls a die to seewho they wrestle against. The tournament is a single elimination tournament. The winners from th boys and girls tournament win an inflatable sumo wrestler suit, which they put on to wrestle for the ulimate sumo trophy.
After the tournament is finshed everybody grabs their tray and goes through the buffet line again to get more food. The rest of the day everybody just plays games and dances.
So now you know how to celebrate International Eat Like A Sumo Day, so celebrate starting this January.
