Wow, there are a LOT of special days in February.
We started off the month with National Dark Chocolate Day on the 1st. Did you know that chocolate was first served as a food in 350 BC?
And we had Groundhog Day on the 2nd. Sorry, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow, so six more weeks of winter.
Friday, the 5th, was National Wear Red Day, to raise awareness about women’s heart health. And today is both National Pizza Day and National Toothache Day (do toothaches really need a day?)
This Sunday is Valentine’s Day, of course. But it is also International Book-Giving Day. Yay!!
Monday is not only Presidents’ Day in the US, but it’s National Gumdrop Day and Family Day in Canada.
And both the Super Bowl and Mardi Gras fall in February.
And my favorite of the special days this month…
The 17th is International Random Acts of Kindness Day!! Go forth and be randomly kind.
The following Saturday, the 20th, is Love Your Pet Day. As if we need a special day to remind us to do that!
Then we round out the month with National Chili Day on the 25th, International Polar Bear Day on the 27th, and National Chocolate Souffle Day on the 28th. Yum!!
(For more special days and some delightful information about them, check out this site.)

February 9, 2021 at 6:15 pmFebruary 15th is also Lundy Gras. It is another celebration on the day before Mardi Gras. Since three members of my family have birthdays in Feb. including one that will fall on Mardi Gras Day periodically, the entire month of Feb. is my favorite.
