Man, they have a holiday for everything! Do we really need a whole month to celebrate Banana Pudding Lovers? Seriously?! Although I am on board with the Peanut Butter Lovers’ Month. Mmmm, peanut butter…
It is also Cyber Monday today – a marketing “holiday” where online shopping in America has huge discounts, like Black Friday is to in-store shopping – and “Make Your Own Head Day“, where you’re supposed to be crafty and create your own head (yes, a very odd holiday – must have been made up by a grade school teacher running out of ideas for day plans).
