It’s National Cinnamon-Raisin Bread Day!
Today is National Cinnamon-Raisin Bread Day. I gotta tell ya, I got all excited. After all, Cinnamon-Raisin Bread makes some of the best French Toast. Yeah, just one little problem – we did French Toast last time around.

Mary suffered greatly during the passion and death of her son, Christ Jesus. It was because of this suffering that she was given the title Our Lady of Sorrow. Recognizing her suffering has been a part of the Catholic Faith almost from the beginning.

On September 13, 335, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, in what is now the Christian Quarters of the Old City of Jerusalem, was dedicated. The following day, the cross that Empress Helena had discovered 15 years earlier on that day, was venerated in a solemn ceremony.

Today is National Kids in the Kitchen Day. In my opinion, spending time with our children in the kitchen is one of the most important things we can do. It’s a way of creating memories, passing along a little family history and teaching life skills.

It should come as no surprise that Catholics hold the name of Mary in high regard. After all, Mary is the Mother of God, our Heavenly Mother, the New Eve. In many cultures with a heavy Catholic influence, Mary, Marie or Maria are often the name chosen for daughters.

On the morning of September 11, 2001 nineteen terrorists hijacked four commercial airlines mid-flight. All four planes were bound for Los Angeles. None would reach their final destination.

Here we are – singing the praises of TV Dinners once more. You would think that we’d be serving up slices of turkey, cornbread stuffing, peas and sweet potatoes, the original offerings in 1953. We aren’t – and for very good, personal reasons.

Depending upon which calendar you use, on the National Front today is Care Bears Share Your Care Day (yeah, a mouthful), National Teddy Bear Day, National Wiener Schnitzel Day or I Love Food Day. With the exception of Wiener Schnitzel and a love of food, the other National Days aren’t exactly edible.

Nativity of Mary isn’t found in Holy Scripture. Yet we know that Mary was born. Without her birth, there would be no Son of God to take away the sins of the world. She was a part of God’s plan from the very beginning.

Today we have two National Days to celebrate. The first is New Hampshire Day. New Hampshire was the 9th state to join the Union yet the first to establish an independent government. For over 100 years, the first votes cast in a presidential election are cast here.

Do you have a favorite restaurant? Hands down, for us it’s Javi’s Fine Mexican Foods in Modesto. Great Margaritas, a wide selection of entrees and warm chips served with a spicy picante to wet your appetite.

I remember when there were all sorts of social rules surrounding so many holidays. Never wear white after Labor Day. Always have a new Bonnet for Easter each year. I grew up in a time when Sunday Best meant something. It did not mean fancy – whatever your best was, it was reserved for Sundays. Family and community meant something.

It’s a tradition, at least in America, that if you visit Hawaii you bring back chocolate covered Macadamia Nuts for all your friends and family. It’s expected. Don’t ask why. Chocolate covered Macadamia Nuts somehow have become the symbol of a Hawaiian Vacation.

Everyone knows that College Football Games are played on Saturday, while the NFL plays on Sunday. Football season begins in the fall. So naturally the first Saturday in September is National Tailgating Day in reference to College Games.
