Two food holidays again tomorrow.
First is 'National Frozen Yogurt Day'.
[The Hankster says] Let's see. Mid Winter and frozen dessert. Yes, and again yes.
Second is 'Canadian Maple Syrup Day'.
[The Hankster says] I bet some pure maple syrup poured over some frozen yogurt would be very good. A little tart and a little sweet.
For you NZ'ers out there Tomorrow is 'Waitangi Day'. Commemorates the signing of Treaty of Waitangi, making New Zealand part of the British Empire.
Tomorrow is 'National Lame Duck Day'. A day to say bye to a lot of political office holders who won't be serving a consecutive time.
Celebrate 'Pay a Compliment Day' tomorrow by giving out with a least 5 of them.
[The Hankster says] Ain't it sad that we need a day to remind us?
Start practicing now, if you are like me. tomorrow is 'National Chopsticks Day'.
[The Hankster says] Miss Piggy says it for me. 'You do not sew with a fork, and I see no reason why you should eat with knitting needles.'. Besides, I can't do it.
For you remote workers. Tomorrow is 'Working Naked Day'. It celebrates working from home
[The Hankster says] Just remember to turn off the webcam. I have been known to face such an opportunity in my P.J's.
We have several awareness days tomorrow.
'Give Kids A Smile Day' is tomorrow on the first Friday in February. It is an an awareness day by the American Dental Association (ADA), concerning children's oral health.
'Bubblegum Day' is another day for the children. It will be. Angain on the first Friday in February. It is a 'no-sell' children's fund raiser concept.
'National Doodle Day' in Great Britain will highlight Epilepsy awareness by 'Epilepsy Action' a registered charity.
'Bobble Day' is also tomorrow in Great Britain. The camp pain raises awareness and funds to help older people to protect their health during the cold winter months.
[The Hankster says] I think it refers to the 'a small ball made of strands of wool used as a decoration on a hat or on furnishings' as there is also 'Bubble Hat Day' for kids at another time of the year.
Two days deal with heart health awareness.
'National Wear Red Day'' in the U.S. and 'Wear It. Beat It' in Great Britain.
Henry Van Dyke once said 'Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.'
[The Hankster says] I think this is one of my favorite 'time' quotes. Other persons have had to deal with the passage of time and the grief, rejoicing and I hope love. February 6 in the past: failure or success. Let's see.

February origin (from Wikipedia):
'The Roman month Februarius was named after the Latin term
februum, which means purification, via the purification ritual
Februa held on February 15 (full moon) in the old lunar Roman
calendar. January and February were the last two months to
be added to the Roman calendar, since the Romans originally
considered winter a monthless period. They were added by
Numa Pompilius about 713 BC. February remained the last month
of the calendar year until the time of the decemvirs (c. 450 BC),
when it became the second month. At certain intervals February
was truncated to 23 or 24 days, and a 27-day intercalary month,
Intercalaris, was inserted immediately after February to realign
the year with the seasons.
Under the reforms that instituted the Julian calendar, Intercalaris
was abolished, leap years occurred regularly every fourth year,
and in leap years February gained a 29th day. Thereafter, it
remained the second month of the calendar year, meaning the
order that months are displayed (January, February, March,
..., December) within a year-at-a-glance calendar. Even during
the Middle Ages, when the numbered Anno Domini year began
on March 25 or December 25, the second month was February
whenever all twelve months were displayed in order. The
Gregorian calendar reforms made slight changes to the system
for determining which years were leap years and thus contained
a 29-day February.'
February is the second month of the year in the Julian and
Gregorian calendars. It is the shortest month and the only month
with fewer than 30 days. The month has 28 days in common years
or 29 days in leap years.
February is the third month of meteorological winter in the
Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere, February
is the third month of summer (the seasonal equivalent of August
in the Northern Hemisphere, in meteorological reckoning).
