National Tempura Day – Everything
tastes better dipped in a flour and water batter and deep fried.
This is a popular Japanese dish that originally came to them via
Portuguese traders and missionaries.
National Old Rock Day – Today is a
day for finding, excavating, or just appreciating old rocks of all
kinds, including fossils and gemstones. For the adventurous among
you, there are lots of rock related activities for adults and
children that I found on this web site:
http://www.altiusdirectory.com/Society/old-rock-day.php for the less adventurous and naughty
among you, simply pull out that coal that Santa left in your stocking
and admire it for a while.
I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore Day –
Today is a day of action. Whatever it is that upsets you...your job,
your hair, your weight, your love life, your children leaving their
shoes and coats right in the doorway as they come in....today is the
day to fix it. Look for a new job, get a new hair cut, go to the gym
and start a diet, kick the bozo to the curb and go out and find a new
bozo, tell your children you will charge them $10 every time you step
on one of their shoes. Whatever it is that is making you
crazy....find a way to fix it!
Harlem Globetrotter's Day – On this day in 1927, the Harlem Globetrotter's played their first game. That first season they won 101 out of 117 games. For more fascinating information of this team named after Harlem in NYC see: http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/harlem-globetrotters-play-their-first-game
Orthodox Christmas – Orthodox
Christians, working from the Gregorian calendar, celebrate Christmas
today. Those of us who celebrate on December 25 are using the
Julian calendar, which supposedly predates the Gregorian calendar but
I don't know anyone old enough to verify that information.
So to consolidate your celebrations you
can sing Christmas carols while you dig a hole in the back yard with
your kids looking for rocks. Then line up your treasures to admire
on table in front of you while you watch an old Harlem Globetrotter's
cartoon. For dinner, since you can't stand cooking for ungrateful
people who don't like anything you make anyway, fix it by going out
to dinner at a Japanese place that makes good tempura with your
spouse and children who will be very nice to you because they don't
want to be kicked to the curb for making you crazy. Have a wonderful day today!
