Today is National Cookie Day. Now I don’t know about you, but on those rare occasions when I’m busy baking cookies, the last think I want to be bothered with is the details of supper. Yet my guys still need to eat, and they deserve a delicious supper at the end of a long, cold day.

Today marks the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. As we all know, yesterday was Cyber Monday – that day when we can shop till we drop while wearing our Pajamas. Today is Giving Tuesday.

Today is Cyber Monday and the first week of the Advent Season. Just like Black Friday, I’ve never actually participated in Cyber Monday. Up until the Pandemic of 2020, the majority of my shopping was done in person, face to face. In my opinion, that’s still the best way to shop.

Today marks the New Advent Season, a new year for the Church. Think of this as New Year’s Day for Catholics. It is the first day of Year C in the Gospel Readings for Sunday. Year C is the Gospel of Saint Luke.

Today is National Mississippi Day. The first state I ever learned to spell thanks to that silly little song – a song I can’t even remember now. It’s also Mousse Day (oh yum) and Shop Small Business Saturday.

While not officially a recognized holiday, the day after Thanksgiving is typically part of a four-day weekend. Unofficially, it’s Family Day. A day for families to gather in a relaxed setting to catch up with one another.

Bet you were expecting a Thanksgiving Post since today is Thanksgiving in the US. Since we did that yesterday (giving you some advance notice should you decide to use any of the recipes) today is all about another National Day. It’s French Toast Day.

This year our Thanksgiving was a bit of a mess. I had hoped with the not so wonderful changes in our family structure, we might be able to make it just a little bit brighter by hosting our family gathering. This didn’t pan out as originally hoped. But that’s okay.

Today is National Cake Day. We haven’t celebrated National Cake Day since 2021. I say it’s high time we did! Interestingly enough, when we last enjoyed a day revolving around cakes, it was a Triple Chocolate Delight. Here we are again, surrounded by chocolate.

Ask a child of any age if food just tastes better when shared with a friend, and you’ll get a resounding yes!

And Lord of lords. May every knee bend, every head bow. Behold, today we declare Christ the King. Officially today is the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.

Today is going to be a very busy day at our house. We are hosting an early Thanksgiving for my sister, Jaquex and her entire extended family. I’ll share all the festivities later.

Sometimes, although rare, it’s a Friday night dinner for one. Every now and again, work obligations beyond the typical 7am-4pm hours are mandatory for management. That’s okay, it gives me a chance to enjoy some quiet time.

November 21 commemorates the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin. Before Mary’s immaculate conception (without Original Sin), her parents received a heavenly message that they would be blessed with a child. Anne was beyond child-bearing years, so Mary was indeed a gift from God.

Arby’s is the phonetic pronunciation of the letters R and B. Silly me, I always thought it stood for Roast Beef – as in their iconic sandwich. Turns out it’s short for Raffel Brothers, the founders of Arby’s Restaurant.
