National Raspberry Cake Day –
I have never had a raspberry cake before but now I can't think why.
I'll have to change that today.
Cotton Candy Day – Is
celebrated on this day and on December 7th. Since cotton
candy is really a summertime treat, I assume (but was not able to
confirm) that the reason is that in the northern hemisphere it is
summer today and in the southern hemisphere, December 7th
is summer weather.
Jump for Jelly Beans Day –
This is a day to enjoy the many varieties of flavors of jelly beans.
I'm not sure why jumping is included unless it is because we jump for
joy when we get to eat them.
Uncommon Instruments Awareness Day
– This is a day to celebrate musical instruments. But not your
every day, ordinary flutes, violins, pianos and guitars. This is a
day to celebrate the ones you don't see every day like the dulcimer
or clackamore, handpan, clapsticks, marimba, and nose flute.
Mutt's Day – Not to be
confused with National Mutt Day on December 2nd. This is,
however, a day to celebrate a much maligned canine. Many people
disparage the mutt and look for a purebred dog. However, it has been
proven that mutts can be a blend of traits from different kinds of
dogs that may suit your family better than a purebred. Plus, they
usually have fewer health problems than purebreds do so don't
discount a mutt before you get to know him/her better.
To celebrate today, find some uncommon
instruments and play them for your mutt, or your neighbor's mutt if
you don't have one. Then prepare for a sugar rush because you will
be eating raspberry cake, cotton candy and jelly beans for dessert
tonight.
