Bean Day

When : Always January 6th

Every once in a while, you come across a special day that just doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason. Bean Day appears to be one of those days. Bean Day is day of unknown origin, and unknown cause. But, this day gets plenty of recognition from Ecard companies and calendar oriented sites.  

We suggest that you celebrate this day by eating beans. After all... Beans, beans, they're good for the heart...."

There are other ways to celebrate Bean Day:

• Newlyweds can add a few beans to their bean jar today.
• Gardeners can enjoy this day surfing through seed catalogs to select beans to grow in the spring.
• Read the story "Jack and the Beanstalk" to your pre-schooler.
• Teachers can use bean seeds for learning exercises in course material.
• Others, can bone up on the history of beans....doesn't that sound like fun!?

Our research did not discover the originator, nor the reason for Bean Day on January 6th. There are many "Bean Days" referenced on the internet. They are primarily from local farming communities celebrating the harvest of the bean crop. There is no one date for this event. Local declarations do not seem to concentrate in any one month. Nor, are they often an annual event.
