National Cheese Doodle Day – These tasty, puffed corn treats first appeared in the 1930's. They are sold all over the world under different brand names. But tasty is tasty no matter what name it has. I could not find out who created them but whoever it was obviously had a great idea.
Saint Piran's Day – St. Piran lived during the 6th century and is the patron saint of tin miners. For reasons I don't understand, this day is associated with heavy alcohol consumption along with lots and lots of food.
Name tag Day – For this Celebrate Your Name Week event, you must wear a name tag everywhere you go. Yes, you heard me, EVERYWHERE. Even if you're going places where everyone already knows you...like your kitchen. After all, you never know when you are going to encounter someone who doesn't know your name and would appreciate the helpful hint.
National Multiple Personality Day – Now known as Dissociative Identity Disorder, this would be a good day to watch the movie Sybil. This also means that it's okay to be caught talking to yourself today. We make jokes about this issue sometimes but we need to remember that for many people, it's a very real and very life altering disorder.
To celebrate today, have some cheese doodles while you watch Sybil. Then offer a prayer to St. Piran to keep the tin miners safe and spend some time researching what your name means.
