National
Day of the Horse – Designated by the U.S. Congress in 2004, and
celebrated on the second Saturday in December, this is a day to
celebrate horses. If you have one or more horses, give them an extra
treat or a long rub down or a nice long trail ride. Whatever your
horse enjoys doing the most, see that he/she gets it today. This
country would still be back in the dark ages without the hard work of
horses in our history.
National
Bouillabaisse Day – Fish stew
that originated in Marseilles, France around 600 B.C. While the
recipe has changed some over the last 2600 years, one thing has not
changed. There has always been a variety of fishes used in the stew,
usually 5-7 different types of “bony fish”.
International
Shareware Day
– Celebrated on the second Saturday in December, this is a day to
appreciate and support the people who create the computer software
that is available free or for just a small fee.
Monkey
Day
– This is a day for the world to celebrate monkeys and other
non-human primates such as lemurs and apes. This day began in 2000
as a joke by Casey Sorrow, an art student but it has since spread
internationally and is now celebrated in the U.S., Canada, the United
Kingdom and Germany.
To
celebrate today, ride your horse to the zoo to see the monkeys, then
go home and download some shareware while your bouillabaisse is
cooking.
