National Brownie Day: More
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Brownie Day';
[The Hankster says] Cool. Another day that celebrates to compact goodness of a cookie, muffin or small cake. There is a much better chance of absconding with seconds when the object of interest is so small and easily hidden. We celebrated Ninja Day a few days ago. My Ninja cape always had pockets inside for just such stealthy adventures.
If you feel pranksterish, tomorrow is for you. Tomorrow is 'Pretend To Be A Time Traveler Day'.
[The Hankster says] This is not a Dr. Who celebration. You don't have to be a Time Lord to participate. Just dress in costume from the past or future and see if you can convince some expecting people, of who you are.
Tomorrow is 'Green Monday'. It is another online sales day event, celebrated on the Monday with at least 10 days prior to Christmas.
Bruce Lee once said 'If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.'
[The Hankster says] Time does not always allow us to plan ahead. A good plan is always desirable if possible, but time won't stand still for very long, while we ponder. And, sometimes our first thoughts are the best. Let us see if anyone erred in that way back on a December 8 in the past.

December origin (from Wikipedia): '
December gets its name from the Latin word decem (meaning ten) because it was originally the tenth month of the year in the Roman calendar, which began in March. The winter days following December were not included as part of any month. Later, the months of January and February were created out of the monthless period and added to the beginning of the calendar, but December retained its name.

'
December is the first month of meteorological winter in the Northern
Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, December is the seasonal equivalent
to June in the Northern hemisphere, which is the first month of summer. D
ecember is the month with the shortest daylight hours of the year in the
Northern Hemisphere and the longest daylight hours of the year in the
Southern Hemisphere.

or your 45 RPM record player was broke, you might watch one of these shows on TV.
