Today we celebrate:


National Flannel Day - Today we celebrate the clothing item that lumberjacks made oh so popular back in the day. I actually like flannel shirts on men, and flannel pajama bottoms are so warm and comfortable, it has to be felt to be believed. I even have my own flannel shirt that I wear in cold weather because it really does do a good job keeping me warm. So don’t knock it until you try it.

Teddy Day - Coming before Valentine’s Day, this is a day to give your loved ones an adorable teddy bear. Who doesn’t love a cuddly and cute teddy bear? Well, who besides my husband who really wouldn’t appreciate the gift as much as I would...hint, hint.

Plimsoll Day – Samuel Plimsoll was born on this day in 1824 in Bristol, England. He was a British politician, but is mostly known for devising the Plimsoll Line. It's a line drawn on a ship that indicates the maximum load a ship can bear. Once it's loaded so that the line is at the water's edge, the ship is full.

National Cream Cheese Brownie Day – Oh boy, who can resist rich, fudgey chocolate mixed with cream cheese.

Umbrella Day – Umbrellas (or parasols as they used to be called in upper class circles) can be used to shield you from rain or snow, or shade you from the heat of the sun and the dangers of UV rays. You can get them in just about any size from tiny ones that fit in your purse to humongous ones like beach or table umbrellas.
