On this day in 1903 near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, two brothers with big dreams let their lofty ideas take flight. On September 24, 1959, President Dwight Eisenhower declared December 17 to be Wright Brothers Day. His proclamation invited the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I must confess, I cannot recall a single celebration. I’m sure in certain circles, this is a very big day. Their 12 second flight was proof positive that the human spirit was meant to soar and dreamers are the pilots of that spirit.

I'm a wife, mother, grandmother and avid home cook.I believe in eating healthy whenever possible, while still managing to indulge in life's pleasures.
A Day Covered in Chocolate
Of all the National Chocolate Days today is the End All to Beat All Chocolate Days. Cover the world with chocolate. If you can dream it, you can dip and drizzle your way to Chocolate Heaven. Play it safe with a chocolate fondue if you like. Or go a little crazy with chocolate covered bacon.

Now, Therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, do herby designate December 15, 1941, as Bill of Rights Day. And I call upon the officials of the Government, and upon the people of the United States, to observe the day by displaying the flag of the United States on public buildings and by meeting together for such prayers and such ceremonies as may seem to them appropriate.

Good Morning Everyone. Welcome to National Alabama Day. So much of the South seems to get a bad rap these days, especially in the current Cancel Culture mindset. It seems we don’t have to look very far to find something offensive or oppressive or ugly just below the surface.

Today is the Third Sunday of Advent. Unlike the two Purple Sundays before it, tonight we will light the Pink Candle. Our hearts are filled with Joy as we are drawn ever closer to Christmas. Today is also the Feast Day of Saint Lucia.

Today is the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. If we were in Mexico, nine days ago would have marked the first day of the Novena to Honor the Virgin of Guadalupe. We would have lit a candle each day for nine days, said prayers and sought intervention through our Blessed Mother that she may gain favor with her Son.

Did you know that today is Noodle Ring Day? I’ve never had a Noodle Ring. Maybe someday, but not today. I need to get over some “ucky” preconceived notions first. And convince my guys to try a Noodle Ring with me.

Today is the first day of Hanukkah. Of all the holidays in the Jewish calendar, the Festival of Lights is one of the most celebrated. It is also recognized by people outside the Jewish faith, just as Christmas and Easter are known worldwide.

First let me begin by saying that today is National Pastry Day. While I adore Pastries, especially anything French, when it comes to making good pastries, that’s just not in my wheelhouse. Would the biscuits on my casserole count? Didn’t think so, but it was worth a try.

From a purely religious perspective, today is a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics. While not rooted in scripture, today is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. The term Immaculate Conception often confuses people, even some Catholics.

Every year on this Day, December 7th, I’ve share posts and recipes revolving around the obvious – the attack on Pearl Harbor that propelled America into World War II. Next year will mark the 80th Anniversary. Wow!

Over the years, we’ve concentrated our Holiday Decorating to the inside of our home rather than the outside. At first I didn’t understand why that was and then I realized, Christmas is my holiday.

Today two very special Christmas Season Days happily fall on the same day. December 6th is the Feast Day of Saint Nicholas. Today also happens to be a Sunday in the Advent Season.

Once again, depending upon which National Calendar you wish to follow, today might just be National Comfort Food Day. On the Foodie scene, it’s also Sacher Torte Day and Rhubarb Vodka Day. The vodka makes sense since on December 5, 1933 Prohibition was repealed. That alone is reason to celebrate.

Today is National Sock Day. Now you would think, with socks the most sought after item in homeless shelters in the winter, that National Sock Day would be promoting an awareness of this need. How simple, during your Holiday Shopping, just pick up a package of socks and drop them off at a nearby shelter. Such generosity would be effortless.
