Happy Holidays!

Whichever ones
Apply: Jewish, Christian, secular!
Practicing people are not particular,
Perhaps because all people carry buns.
Year’s end’s a time of darkness, true, but when
Has darkness ever darkened one small light?
Our pleasures are like candles in the night,
Lighting lamps that burn beyond our ken.
In celebration there is more than joy:
Days of feasting bind our friendships fast,
A fat and full embrace of things that last,
Yet holy in what sense one might employ,
Savoring sweet songs that spirits buoy.

While it really isn’t trivia but an important part of American History. I found this very interesting!  Especially since so many mothers miss their sons and daughters who make up the the U.S. Military.   A little United States History!

According to Wikipedia: “In 1870 Howe was the first to proclaim Mother’s Day, with her Mother’s Day Proclamation.“   If you follow the links its pretty interesting stuff!

Happy Mothers Day To Moms all over the globe!
