[The Hankster says] I love anything with peanuts. Great nutrition, but I do eat dry roasted, lightly-salted or no-salt peanuts, just to keep them healthy.
- 'International Chocolate Day'.
On the birthday of Milton S. Hershey, September 13 1857.
[The Hankster says] We all know the story of one of the happiness marriages ever made, that of peanuts/peanut butter and chocolate.
A day for me, tomorrow., OK a few others. It will be 'Programmers' Day'. Celebrated on the 256 days of the year, September 12 or 13, depending on leap year. The number 256 is the is the number of distinct values that can be represented in a byte (8 bits) of computer memory. It started in Russia and went international.
Tomorrow is 'Roald Dahl Day'. Celebrates the birthday of British children's book writer Roald Dahl.
Tomorrow is 'National Grandparent’s Day'. Since 1978 (Presidential proclamation) on the Sunday after Labor Day. The days official song is 'A Song for Grandma and Grandpa' by Johnny Prill. The official flower is the 'Forget-me-not'.
[The Hankster says] Kids, you know who these people are. They are the ones with big smiles when they first see you, and even bigger ones, after they have spoiled you, and leave for home and leave you to mom and dad, until the next time.
And up in extreme North Texas. It is also 'National Grandparents' Day in Canada'. Second Sunday in September.
Moms, get out the mops, brooms and buckets. Tomorrow is 'National Kids Take Over The Kitchen Day'. By the Young Chefs Academy. Children make a meal for their parents and grandparents.
For those who lost a loved pet, tomorrow is 'National Pet Memorial Day'. Second Sunday in September. Honors both past and present pets. One popular idea is to plant a memorial tree or shrub.
Tomorrow is 'Bald is Beautiful Day'. It supports the idea, that no matter why, disease, accident or natural, there isn't any reason to hide your bald head.
Tomorrow is 'Defy Superstition Day'.
[The Hankster says] There is one which states that anyone who does not read my post will have 7 years bad luck and warts on their mirrors and broken ladders. Hum, is that right? Well, you get the idea.
'Fortune Cookie Day'. Most sources indicate the 13th of September. There are others.
[The Hankster says] Maybe you will come across the answer in a cookie some day.

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.
After the calendar reform that added January and February to the beginning of the year, September became the ninth month, but retained its name. It had 29 days until the Julian reform, which added a day.
