This isn't all that goes on in January, but a few. I'll try to add more to this in the next few days so please come back and look again!

If you return before I get it done it's probably because I'm looking for some cream puffs and chocolate covered cherries! I also need to make some fruit cake and gobble it down with some egg nog! YUM! Or I may be trying to rid myself of the 2009 bad luck we've had as part of Good Riddance Day! Then we can look to 2010 as being a better year because we rid ourselves of the "ball and chain" weighing us down!

  1. I'm curious who declares these days. I think I'll make January "National Freeze My Butt Off While Cooking Outdoors Month". :-)

  2. I think it's funny that January is considered National Egg Month. That's when my hens go on strike! Maybe someone told them and they took off for the holiday! ;-)

  3. To get public recognition of special days, weeks or months an organization or group of people go to their state or fed representatives and petition to have the day recognized. Typical of the gov, state or fed it takes time and they want a good reason for it.

  4. That is weird that January is the month, Tammy. I agree with you! Mine are on winter strike, but they still expect ME to feed, water and care for them. What's the deal with that? lol What ever happened to symbiotic and reciprocal relationships? I'm doing my part!
