Fruitcake Toss Day

Toss the Indestructible Fruitcake

How many people actually ate fruitcake this past holiday season? Certainly not many. This writer bought a fruitcake to see if anyone would take a slice of it from the dessert tray. Out of 14 people, it remained untouched. No surprise. Many of the guests have never tried it either. They simply raised their nose at the mere thought of eating it.

So, today is the day to toss the fruitcake you received as a gift over the holiday. You can do so ceremoniously, or simply toss it in the trash. But, we can assure you it is more fun to see what it takes to destroy it first. We recommend playing the Fruitcake Toss Game.

Houseplant Appreciation Day

For the Love of Houseplants

Chances are, you completely forgot about your houseplants during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Fortunately for them, Houseplant Appreciation Day occurs very early in the new year when things have slowed down. There's no better time to appreciate your houseplants than in the winter months.

Is the snow and cold keeping you indoors? Today is the perfect day to get re-acquainted with all of your indoor plants. Give them a little fertilizer. Water all of your plants. Give your plants a trim, if needed. And, talk to them so they know they are loved. They love to hear your voice.

Weather permitting, Houseplant Appreciation Day is also a good time to buy a new houseplant or two. And while you are at the store, browse the selection of flowerpots. Make sure to put this holiday on your January calendar holiday.

National Rubber Ducky Day

You Make Bathtime Lots of Fun

Kids, hop into the bathtub and celebrate National Rubber Ducky Day. Young children love their baths. And, they love rubber duckies, too. As a matter of fact, for most children, bathtime isn't complete without a few of these colorful friends floating around among the bubbles.

C'mon adults, admit it. You like rubber duckies, too. Parents and grandparents of small children certainly do. Rubber duckies bring a smile to our adult faces. They bring back fond childhood memories.

Beer Can Appreciation Day

Bottoms Up!

This special holiday celebrates the creation of the first beer can. We can all appreciate that. But, if you're like me, you enjoy what's inside of the can much more than the can itself. So, go ahead and tip a few cans. No bottles today, please. Enjoy your favorite brew or try one you've never had before. When it comes to January calendar holidays, this is one you can't overlook. It is best enjoyed with friends.

If you're feeling a little tipsy toward the end of this special holiday, we understand. But, please let someone else drive home.

COMING UP

COMING UP IN FEBRUARY

It’s mid-winter with plenty of cold and snowy weather. But, there are some sizzling February holidays to warm you up. We begin the month when a little groundhog emerges from his winter lair to predict how much winter remains. Then in mid-month love is in the air to warm our hearts. Valentine’s Day is followed the next day with the lesser-known, but still heart-warming Singles Awareness Day.

There are only 28 days in February, making it the shortest month of the year. But, February is jam-packed with big and small national holidays and world holidays.

Will the Groundhog see his shadow? If not, the end of winter is in sight.
While the days slowly grow longer, winter's snow and cold continues to rage outside.
Skiing, sledding, and skating venues see throngs of winter-hardy fans.
The Superbowl is played. Will your team win? Don't miss the ads.
February National holidays and international holidays abound.
We watch winter go by as we sit by the fireplace with a mug of chocolate and a good book.
