It's Cake, But Fancy.

Today is National Sacher Torte Day! Like anything fancy, it is not at all pronounced how it looks, and if you say it wrong at a restaurant, they will likely laugh at you in the kitchen. "Satcher Tart? Sorcha Turt? S... Soccer... I'll just have that thing in the picture." A Sacher Torte is chocolate cake with apricot jam in the middle, and coated with a rich chocolate frosting. I actually am a fairly big fan of it, as it is quite good. I can only handle it once or twice a year, though. So today is one of those times!

Bring Me My Brown Shoes!

Today is Wear Brown Shoes Day! Today is such an incredibly easy day to celebrate, that in my morning stupor, I completely forgot to check what holiday it was (which is what usually happens). I only remembered to check when I was getting the snack for children's church ready. Lo, and behold: I looked down on my feet and adorning them were two of the brownest shoes I e'er did own. Which... was pretty likely, considering I am a boy and do not change shoes daily. Plus, they're new shoes, so why wouldn't I wear them all day every day? Because I usually do not like wearing shoes. Is the answer to that question. Today, though, I will wear my brown shoes to the fullest of my ability. Which is a lot. I'm a great shoe-wearer.

Looks Good Up There.

Today is National Roof-Over-Your-Head Day! Today is a day to be thankful for all that roof you have over your head, and to be thankful for the things it protects you from. This time of year, it mostly protects you from snow, cold, and zombie paratroopers. They are notoriously known for their winter escapades. Don't forget that it also protects you from the searing, unforgiving blister-heat that we so naively play in every summer that the sun forces on us. Unless you live in a glass house... which kudos to you for being sinless, but that has to feel unsettling every now and then. Well, regardless of your roof shape, size, material, or... weight(?), be sure to enjoy the fact that you have one. Not everyone does.

On a less serious note, today would be a great day to make a Gingerbread House.
