National
French Toast Day
– If you were wondering what on earth you were going to have for
breakfast today, fear not for I have your solution right here. Who
doesn't love French Toast?
National Day of Mourning – This is a day of protest for the Native American people. They remember how their ancestors were murdered, lied to, poisoned, demonized and displaced by the people who came to this country after them beginning with the Pilgrims.
Thanksgiving Day – This is a day for Americans to give thanks. We stuff ourselves to the bursting point with a feast and we thank God for a bountiful harvest and our ability to spend time with the ones we love.
Turkey-free Thanksgiving – This is a day for the vegans, vegetarians, and the turkey dislikers among us. You absolutely do NOT have to have Turkey today. Have a pork roast or steak or delicious vegetarian meal instead.
Make
Your Own Head Day – This is a day to get creative and artistic.
Use whatever materials you have on hand and make your own head
today. Make it however you would like it to be, it doesn't have to
look anything like you.
Red
Planet Day – On this day in 1964, Mariner 4 was launched.
Mariner 4 was an unmanned spacecraft that passed within 9,844
kilometers of Mars and took many up close pictures of the red planet
that it sent back to scientists here on Earth.
To
celebrate today, have some french toast for breakfast and make sure
your kids know the truth about what happened with the Native
Americans in this country. Then get your kids busy making their own
heads while you are preparing a wonderful Thanksgiving meal. Make
sure you have options for the non-turkey lovers. This evening, see
if you can see Mars through your telescope.
