1/12/2017 It's Kiss a Ginger Day!

 Inquiring minds are always asking questions.  If you don't believe me just ask a parent or a teacher.  So I was ever so intrigued when I stumbled on this website:  https://www.daysoftheyear.com.

Did you know that the month of January celebrates 13 different things?  Some of them are:  Be Kind to Food Servers Month, Soup Month, Clean Up Your Computer Month, and International Brain Teaser Month.  And in February there’s Hot Breakfast Month, Cherry Month, and Bird Feeding Month amongst others.**

Today – January 12th – is Kiss A Ginger Day, Poetry At Work Day, Pharmacist Day, and Marzipan Day.  I’m personally looking forward to January 16th (Appreciate A Dragon Day) and the 20th (Penguin Awareness Day).  Each day seems to have 2 to 8 items listed which gives you a choice of what to celebrate.

So if your children are often “bored – nothing to do” or just deserving of a special treat, check out this site and see what you can do to brighten their day or set up a future day to celebrate.

**By the way, February is also Bake For Family Fun Month, and there are quite a few snack days listed:  Baked Alaska Day, Carrot Cake Day, Gumdrop Day, Chocolate Mint Day, Tortilla Chip Day.  (And, if the kids have too much sugar, mom and dad might appreciate Drink Wine Day or Margarita Day.)
