National Hot Cross Bun Day: More
A sweet spicy bun baked with currants or raisins
an topped with a cross of icing.
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Hot Cross Bun Day'. A sweet spicy bun baked with currants or raisins an topped with a cross of icing.
[The Hankster says] Who can forget those words of wisdom, we learned as a child:
'Hot-cross buns!
Hot-cross buns!
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot-cross buns!
If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons;
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot-cross buns!'
With inflation, I wonder how that would read today? And just how stale are those buns if they can be sold for half price.
Tomorrow is 'Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance'. Remembrance of the 9/11 attacks in the U.S.A. First established on October 23 2001, by the U.S. House of Representatives Joint Resolution 71. Then on December 18 2001, the president designated September 11 of each year as 'Patriot Day', Public Law 107-89. Then in 2010 a proclamation renamed the day as Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance.
Tomorrow is 'National Make Your Bed Day'.
[The Hankster says] The Guinness record for making a bed with one blanket, two sheets, an undersheet, an uncased pillow, one pillowcase, one counterpane and hospital corners, by two people was 14 sec. It takes me longer than that to convince myself to do it.
'I Want to Start My Own Business Day',
[The Hankster says] No, not me, that's the name of the day.
Think retirement. Tomorrow is 'National 401(k) Day'. Since 1996 by the Profit Sharing/401(k) Council of America.
Cut some of the anxiety tomorrow It will be 'National No News Is Good News Day'. A day to not, listen to the news or read a newspaper.

September is:
September origin (from Wikipedia): Originally September (Latin septem, "seven") was the seventh of ten months on the oldest known Roman calendar.
September in the Northern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of March in the Southern Hemisphere.
