To and From

Today is Card Reading Day! It's a day to... well... read cards. I happen to have a box of old cards that are from years ago, dating from early birthdays to my high school graduation. I'll be going through that little bit of nostalgia today in order to celebrate this holiday. There are more ways to celebrate, however. You might send some new cards out, making it easier for others to celebrate. You may want to go back through your week old valentine's day cards to see which ones hint at someone flirting with you and then try asking that person out. I only say that because today is a perfect week after the day, and it seemed almost too coincidental. The last way I can think of to celebrate this day would be to take it very literally and read every card that you see. That is obviously a dangerous way to celebrate. Just try to stay away from Hallmark stores, because if you look in and see all those cards, you'll be there for a while.

Hoodie wha?

Today is Hoodie Hoo Day. A holiday I pretty much had to research, for reasons I am hoping are obvious unless I'm just the only one who thinks that those words together or separate make no sense. Today is a day that celebrators of Hoodie Hoo Day will step out of whatever building they are in at noon, brandish their hands above their head, and yell "HOODIE HOO!" in an effort to scare winter away. I'm assuming this holiday was made in the north, because here in the south, there really isn't much need to scare winter away. It comes late and leaves early. However, I will go outside in about 30 minutes or so to take part in what I can only assume is a grand tradition passed down generations of meteorologists. Better do some stretching first if I'm gonna do any real winter scaring.

Today is Chocolate Mint Day! As all self-proclaimed chocolate connoisseurs will say, mint is one of the best additions to chocolate that has ever been created. It's right up there with peanut butter, real fruit (dipped), and more chocolate. There is a wide array of chocolaty mints and minty chocolates and all of them are being celebrated today. There are Andes Mints, which were among my first chocolate mint concoctions that I have ever eaten, along with the class mint chocolate chip ice cream, and mint chocolate cake. Literally any combination is fair game today. Eat as much of it as you want. On a diet? Not today, it's Chocolate Mint Day. There are even actual chocolate mint mints! I don't know if they do anything for your breath aside from making it smell like dessert, but they probably taste great and you'll eat them like candy because, let's face it, that's what they are. Even Extra Gum has a Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream flavoured gum. It's everywhere people. Easy and fun day to celebrate so let's get out there!
