Card Playing Day

Date When Celebrated : Always December 28

Card Playing Day is the perfect time to spend an hour or so playing cards with family and friends. And, it arrives at just the perfect time of year........ a few days after Christmas. The holiday hustle and bustle is over. The kids are getting bored of their new toys. It's time to turn to card games for a calmer, relaxing, and more slow-paced form of fun and entertainment.

Enter the world of card games. Cards have survived for centuries as a form of "play" and entertainment. Sure, there are a few serious gambling types among us, who view cards a serious "business". To most of us, card games are just ....games.

Spend the day playing cards with family and friends. If you have kids, make sure to play some age appropriate card games with them. You'll find its quality time with the kids that will create many warm memories.

Happy Card Playing Day. Now "go fish", "hit me", "double", and "I'll raise you two!".

This is a new one for me...

Pepper Pot Day

Date When Celebrated : Always December 29

Pepper Pot Day commemorates the creation of this thick spicy soup, which was served to the Continental Army during the cold, harsh winter of 1777-1778. Pepper Pot soup was first made on December 29, 1777.

According to the legend...........

During the Revolutionary war, the Continental army was camped at Valley Forge. The winter was cold and harsh. Conditions were deplorable. Food was often scarce. George Washington asked his army's chef to prepare a meal for the army, that would both warm them, and boost their moral. The chef found scraps of tripe, small bits of meat and some peppercorn. He mixed this in with some other ingredients, and created Pepper Pot soup, also known as "Philadelphia Pepper Pot soup”. The hot, and somewhat spicy soup, was well received by the troops. It was called "the soup that won the war”.

Celebrate Pepper Pot Day by making some Pepper Pot soup for the family. Note: while tripe was a main ingredient of this soup, you can substitute with chicken or beef.

Origin of Pepper Pot Day:
This warm and hearty day dates back to when it was first made to serve the Continental Army on December 29, 1777. We do not know when it first was celebrated as a special day, or who started this tradition. However, it certainly is a day that will warm you up!

This isn't about Pepper Pots from the Iron Man movies/comics?

I wish, she's so hot.

New Years Eve...!

The first New Year was celebrated 4,000 years by the ancient Babylonians.

It’s tradition to ring in New Year’s with family and friends because the first people you see will either give you good luck or bad luck. So make sure to keep friends close and foes very far away.

More vehicles are stolen on New Year’s Day than any other holiday, statistics from the National Insurance Crime Bureau revealed.

The top three places to celebrate New Year’s Eve are Las Vegas, Disney World and of course, New York City. Internationally, one of the biggest celebrations is in Sydney, Australia. More than 80,000 fireworks are set off from Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Can't wait for national the day every one is hungover and wondering just where what and how often they barfed the night before!!!!!!!!

That used to be every morning before work for me! ✅

Tomorrow is...

Humiliation Day

Date When Celebrated : Always January 3 rd

Humiliation Day is not a day to humiliate someone. Rather, it should be viewed as a time to recognize the negativity of humiliating someone, or a group of people.

Perhaps too many people associate humbleness with humility. So, they think today is a day to be humble. Being humble is good virtue. Humiliation is a negative impression placed upon someone....which is not so good.

Let's all use this special day, to remind us to avoid humiliating anyone for any reason.

The internet will be very quiet if this day is observed.

Really, this is my kind of day!

Date When Celebrated: January 4

Whether the roots of Trivia Day are deep....or whether this day was established by the Ecard dot coms is irrelevant.

Trivia Day is a fun day. It is an opportunity for us to share those many little trinkets of knowledge. It doesn't matter how big or how trivial. Dazzle your friends and family with generous portions of trivia today!

Origin of Trivia Day:

Robert L. Birch, Grand PunScorpion of the Puns Corps created this day to raise our awareness of the significance of trivia in the development of human curiosity, science, and fun.
