Last year S came home from school announcing that it was “Chocolate Day” I immediately celebrated and delivered Hersey's bars to some buds to celebrate. I did not, however mark it on my calendar. I knew it was October sometime, tho… I did a quick Internet search last week and found that it was this Saturday past. *yippees* I put it on my outlook and made sure to stock up! YUM!
Sunday I sat down to journal my day and did another search and came up with a different date (July 7th!) *puzzled* So the librarian in me did a thorough research project and discovered, much to my delight, that I had celebrated a week and a half early and would get to celebrate it again on the real day, October 28th. *apologizes to those I misled*
I also found out that there are 4 National Chocolate Days. I love this country!! *waves American flag* Two of them are a day apart! *laughs* There is also a Milk Chocolate Day and a White Chocolate Day. There is even a Bittersweet *pulls face* Chocolate Covered Almond Day. There is a Chocolate Lovers Month and an American Chocolate Week. *happy sigh* I am especially looking forward to Chocolate Covered Anything Day.
