National Shortbread Day –
traditionally a Scottish dish based on biscuit bread...feel free to
try this one

Cuddle Up Day – find someone to cozy
up with. If you can't find a willing person, try an animal (tame and
domesticated preferably). If you can't find a willing live animal,
try a stuffed one. If all else fails, you can borrow my dog, he'd be very happy to cuddle with you.
Three Kings Day or Epiphany or Twelfth
Night – The twelve days of Christmas began on Christmas day and end
today with the Feast of Epiphany which is also called “The
Adoration of the Magi”. Magi is a fancy name for Wise Men (or kings)
of which there were three who went to visit baby Jesus, hence the
Three Kings Day. So although they seem like they should be separate
celebrations, they are really all the same.
Apple Tree Day – if you google Apple
Tree Day you will find a whole lot of day care centers. But that is
not really what this day is about. Today is a day to celebrate apple
trees, and since it's not a good time of year to plant an apple tree,
a great way to do that would be to make an apple pie. But that's
just my opinion.
National Bean Day – there are beans
in all different shapes, sizes and colors. You can cook with them or
craft with them or even make musical instruments with them. I see
where your mind went just now, and that's just stinky and not at all
what I meant.
A great way to celebrate everything
today would be to make an apple cobbler with a shortbread cobbled on
top, make some bean soup, cuddle up on the couch with the honey of
your choice and watch Twelfth Night. Have a great day!
