Tick Tock Day

Tick Tock.  Tick Tock.  The clock is ticking for the end of the day and the end of the year.  December 29th is Tick Tock Day and it's a good time to talk about some major anniversaries we haven't yet mentioned this year.

I blogged about 2012 being Oreo's 100th birthday and the LEGO wheel's 50th anniversary.

2012 also marks the 50th anniversary of when the book, A Wrinkle in Time, was published.  We were planning on reading it with the kids some time this year, then forgot about it until today.  So we were going to pick it up from the library today, but forgot about it again (we're not intentionally forgetting, Madeleine L'Engle.  We promise).  Sigh.  Maybe for it's 51st anniversary.

We did celebrate Krispy Kreme's 75th birthday, though.  On Talk Like a Pirate Day, people who dressed up like pirates were able to get a dozen donuts free at some Krispy Kreme stores.

What other major anniversaries happened in 2012?  Do you know of any coming up in 2013?
