National Brownie Day celebrates chocolatey, chewy brownies. This December 8 holiday is destined to become chewy and gooey.

Brownie lovers, love chocolate. Conversely, chocolate lovers, love brownies. Therefore, it’s only natural, that we have a special day to celebrate brownies.

It’s fun and easy to enjoy on this special day. First, select your favorite brownie recipe, and bake a batch of brownies. You can add nuts if you prefer. Topping the brownies with chocolate frosting is a good thing, too. Finally, eat them! You can have them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as a snack.

.Ps Don’t forget the glass of milk! 

Happy National Brownie Day.

Look on the Bright Side Day is today, a December 21 holiday. We hope you see the light. However, that may prove difficult today. It is the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. And, December days tend to be cloudy. However, we’re going to be optimistic, and fully expect you to succeed. On a positive note, while this is the shortest day of the year, it is all uphill from here. For the next six months, every day will be a little longer.

Today is a day to be optimistic. The term itself is an optimistic one. It calls upon us to look for something positive, out of an otherwise bad or sad situation. Often, a bad experience has positive lessons to be learned.  

If you have a bad day yesterday, look on the bright side…. today is another day and an optimistic one at that!

When is National Bouillabaisse Day? Why, it’s today, how exciting! I think that you will agree with me that this is a somewhat fishy day. This December 13 holiday celebrates a tasty Mediterranean fish stew or soup.

Bouillabaisse is believed to have originated in Marseilles, France. It is extremely popular all around the Mediterranean and is a specialty in ports across the region.

Bouillabaisse is a fish stew or soup. All agree the fish should be white fillets. Recipes call for a variety of fish, including cod, snapper, flounder, halibut, sea bass, monkfish, and more. 

Celebrate National Bouillabaisse Day with a cup or bowl of this tasty stew.

Grab your rubber ducky. Bathtub Party Day is today. Who’s brining the wine? Did someone bring snacks?  On this December 5 holiday, draw yourself a bathtub full of warm water. Add a few bath oil beads or soap bubbles, and Voila! You’re ready to hop in and “soak it” in the bathtub. Ahh, how soothing and relaxing!

Make it a bathtub party of one. Don’t let anything disturb the peace, quiet, and serenity of your bath. Turn off your cell phone. Put on your favorite CDs to a volume where you can’t hear the doorbell ring. You’re going to be so relaxed. And you’re going to be quite clean, too.

Today is Bill of Rights Day, a December 15 holiday. To Americans, the Bill of Rights are key amendments to the U.S. Constitution, that protect our rights.

On March 4, 1789, the Constitution of the United States of America was ratified by the former 13 colonies and went into effect. States and individuals were concerned that the Constitution did not properly cover and protect several rights of individuals. The Constitution was signed by the original 13 states with the requirement, or understanding, that a Bill of Rights would be created, amending the new U.S. Constitution.

On September 25, 1789, the First Congress of the United States proposed to the state legislatures 12 amendments to the Constitution. 10 of these amendments were added to the Constitution on December 15, 1791. Of the 12 proposed amendments, 10 were approved.

On Bill of Rights Day, we hope you celebrate your American Citizenship and spend a few minutes reflecting upon the freedoms that you enjoy. These freedoms do not exist in many countries of the world.

National Bicarbonate of Soda Day, also called Baking Soda Day, is today. That’s because bicarbonate of soda and baking soda are the same thing. This December 30 holiday celebrates the many benefits and uses of Bicarbonate of Soda. Bicarbonate of soda has many beneficial uses. Why, after all of the holiday drinking and eating, it helps to ease indigestion and heartburn.

Just how does baking soda work and what, specifically, does it do? It’s quite simple. We will skip the chemistry lesson on what it chemically is, and how it is made. Rather let’s talk about what it is, and what it does. The bicarbonate of soda is a chemical compound – sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate. When heated, it creates carbon dioxide, a gas. The gas aids a variety of bakery products to rise as they cook.

World Aids Awareness Day is today. This December 1 holiday day is noted around the world, by fundraisers and educational programs, and events. Its goals are to bring greater awareness to this disease, to support the fight against HIV/Aids and people who have it, along with searching for a cure.

HIV/AIDS is one of the world’s biggest medical crises. This disease was first spotted in 1959. It grew to epidemic proportions, peaking in the 1980s and 1990s. Thanks to awareness, medicine, and treatment, the number of people with this disease have dropped off dramatically. Worldwide, about 38.4 million people have aids. In 2021 aids deaths were 650,000, a decline of 68% since 2004.
