Today we celebrate:

Good Memory Day - This is a day to revel in the good memories you have and maybe to make some new good memories.

Brew A Potion Day - Experiment a little today and brew your own potion.  You can probably google some recipes to get you started.  Make sure it’s a potion that won’t cause any harm to anyone.  Maybe a nice love potion would be good.

National Popcorn Day – This is my daughter's favorite day. She lives on popcorn. Try some fun popcorn related activities with the kids today. Decorate the house with popcorn strings, mix popcorn with different ingredients and see what it tastes like, fill a container with popcorn, popped or unpopped and guess how many kernels are in it or have popcorn fights. Your imagination (and tolerance for messes) is your only boundary.

National Gun Appreciation Day – Begun in 2013, this is a day to demonstrate American's support of their 2nd Amendment right to own a gun. I know this is a very controversial subject with strong feelings on either side and I am gifted (cursed?) with the ability to see and understand both sides of the issue but you may feel free to comment with your opinion if you wish.

Tin Can Day – The tin can was patented in 1810 by Peter Durand and the ability to store food for long periods of time suddenly became possible. However, the can opener was patented by William Lyman in 1870. Hmmmm. Does anyone else see a 60 year problem here?


Rid The World Of Fad Diets And Gimmicks Day – The Tuesday of the third full week of January is the day to realize the uselessness of fad diets that don't work long term, and sometimes not even short term, along with the gimmicks you can spend tons of money on that don't reduce the weight of anything but your wallet.
