It’s Letter Writing Day - On this day in 1922, the first skywriting advertisement was created by Captain Cecil Turner for the Vanderbilt Hotel in New York City. It was a raving success resulting in 47,000 phone calls for the hotel. Now we can’t all go out and create our own skywriting messages but we can write our messages on paper where it will last longer.
Turkey Leftover Day - Yesterday we celebrated leftovers in general. Today we are celebrating turkey leftovers specifically. I know you still have some, I certainly do. What should we do with them today? Turkey pot pie? Turkey Casserole? Turkey sandwiches?
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? Although apparently it should be called Roman Toast since the Apicius, a collection of recipes that appear to be from Romans back in the 5th century, has a dish that is very similar to the French Toast that we eat today.
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. It was our first up close look at our neighbor in space.
Giving Tuesday - This is a day to give thanks for all you have by giving back to your community by supporting charities that you believe in. Be generous with your money, your time and/or your talents and help the world one person at a time. This is a global day that I believe is celebrated on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t matter which charities or causes you support as long as you support something that helps someone somewhere.
