We had nachos. Our friend gave us individual sized sparkling cider bottles so we each got one to toast the new year.
January 4- National Trivia Day
The younger boys and I told each other bits of trivia that day.
With my time (and arms) filled up with baby, I realized I could celebrate some of the same ways I celebrated when Lucky was a baby- watching movies based on the holidays.
January 6- Sherlock Holmes' Birthday
I watched the Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr.
January 8- Elvis' Birthday
I watched an Elvis movie, "Fun in Acapulco."
January 11- National Step in the Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day
Jeremy was out birding with the older kids that day so they got a picture for me.
January 13- National Rubber Ducky Day
I watched a YouTube video of Ernie singing that song.
January 14- National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day
We had hot pastrami sandwiches for dinner.
I already blogged about Appreciate a Dragon Day on January 16.
We didn't celebrate Popeye's birthday on January 17 like we sometimes do. Recently, friends of ours gave us a calendar that lists national holidays. Woohoo. On the calendar are some we already celebrate and some that we don't... yet. One of the holidays listed for January 17 is Hot Buttered Rum Day. Now we're not going to celebrate anything with alcohol but Nichole pointed out that some of the candies we got for Christmas were toffees and some of those toffees had the flavor of butter rum. Ha Ha. Victory. So I handed out butter rum flavored toffees so we could celebrate this holiday that was on the calendar.
