Celebrate the Day.... I'll Have a Little "Whine" with that "Thank You" Note Before We Celebrate!

Celebrate the Day... I’ll have a little “whine” with that “Thank You” before we Celebrate!

It’s time again to Celebrate the Day! If you’re all done with Christmas, there’s still some things to celebrate.

December 26 is another one of those Frenzied Shopping Days. However unlike Christmas Eve when I love being in a mall, you will not see me anywhere near one on this day. This is when the real hard-core shoppers go out to try to catch the half-off sales. Mix this together with the “Gift Returners” and the somewhat newer “Gift Card Recipients” and you have a lethal combination of chaos and mishap.


WhinerDecember 26 is also National Whiner’s Day. It’s a tongue in cheek holiday but I think it’s meant for people who have a propensity to whine (which is like finger nails on a chalkboard to me) to get it all out in one day. So if you want to whine about what you didn’t get for Christmas go ahead... this is your day. Get it all out, then that’s it. You get a pass for today, then zip your lip after that!

Next up... it’s also National “Thank You” note day. The operative word here is “NOTE”. What’s that you say, you’ll text a “Thank You” or even worse put it on Facebook? When’s the last time you received a handwritten note? When’s the last time you wrote one?
Give it a try.... you’ll impress the heck out of the receiver and you’ll also be note writerhelping the US Postal Service!

And in a more celebratory note... Kwanzaa begins today and is a week long celebration, ending on January 1. Created in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, Kwanzaa celebrates African Americans and their culture and heritage.
