National
Bavarian Cream Pie Day
– This is a pie that has a cooked egg custard filling in a pie
shell with a whipped cream topping. Oh, boy! I want some!
Tie One On Day – I know what this sounds like, but you are incorrect. Today we are tying on an apron and celebrating all the generations of women who came before us. Women over the last several thousands years are best represented by the image of the apron. And in the spirit of all those women who were well known for sharing what they had with those who had less, do something to help someone in need today.
Chanukah
or Hanukkah - This
Jewish celebration comes early this year. It begins at sundown this
evening and will continue until sundown on Thursday, December 5th.
The
first candle on the Menorah is lit at nightfall this evening. The
purpose of this celebration is to remember the rededication of the
Holy Temple in Jerusalem around 200 BCE.
Pins
and Needles Day
– On this day in 1937, a famous play called Pins
And Needles opened
on Broadway. It is famous because it was the first, and possibly the
only Pro-Labor play at a time when Unions were struggling to get a
foothold among the people.
To
celebrate today, tie on an apron, make a Bavarian Cream Pie, give it
to someone in need and spend the rest of the day watching Pins and
Needles. There's a revival starring Barbra Streisand if you can't
find any recordings of the original. This evening light your first
Menorah candle.
