Daily Holidays - December 2
National Fritters Day
Fritters are popular all over the world, though obviously they’re not called fritters everywhere you go. In Asia there are several varieties, including the Burmese a-kyaw which is popularly made with a rich gourd filling, and are typically served with tea, or for breakfast. Because who doesn’t like deep fried gourds for breakfast? Admittedly, they also have it made from chickpea, onion, brown bean paste, just to name a few. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/fritter-day/
Bartender Appreciation Day
aims to make customers think about the great service their favourite bartenders give while pouring pints and mixing cocktails as well as their great people skills of talking, listening, joking and being a shoulder to cry on and a person to confide in. Over the centuries, a bartender’s job has somehow evolved from just pouring your pint or shot into being a therapist of sorts, to the point that these days, that’s what bartenders are best known for: being the person you can tell all about your life’s troubles while sipping an ice-cold beer. Who could think of a better kind of therapy? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/bartender-appreciation-day/
Faux Fur Day
The first fake furs started coming into the scene in the 1900’s, with ‘fur’ being made from the wool of either newborn or unborn lambs. Since that day fake furs have been expanding throughout the world and fashion industry. During the hey-day of fur fashion fake furs were a way for those less financially enriched to get into the fur fashion. Fur was considered to say a lot about the person wearing it, with Vogue Magazine stating that the fur you wear will reveal “the kind of woman you are and the kind of life you will lead.” https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/faux-fur-friday/

So call me "Heinz." 
After the hacking event, I chose to wait to come back until the site was open for all again just to be on the safe side and I was out of town for a bit in any event.
I do appreciate you kind words and knowing that this little effort is noted.
