It’s Super Bowl Monday!
The day after the BIG GAME (which ran late and was still rather lame).
Don’t care about that?

It’s Darwin Day!
Cheers to the radical theories of a British scientist.
Don’t think that interests you?

It’s National Hug Day!
Surely, a day worth celebrating!
But you need more…

How about Carnival Monday?
The Monday before Ash Wednesday rife with music, dance, and food.
Which brings us to the other celebrations this week…

Fat Tuesday!
Mardi Gras is a pre-Lenten celebration with music, parades, picnics and…beads.

Ash Wednesday!
Kicking off Lent with a smudge and somber reminder of mortality and reconciliation.

Valentine’s Day!
A Christian Feast Day honoring a martyr that has evolved to represent all things commercial and manufactured; celebrated and loathed by many.

Thursday, February 15!
The day after Valentine’s Day when all of the candy and flowers are on sale!
And also, Singles Awareness Day. Which, honestly, I would have thought was the day before.

Wrapping up the week with
Friday Fish Fry!
A celebration of the season of repentance.

(and, if you’re lucky, Bunco!)

I’m lucky.

This is a lazy post, I admit. I mean, I could post every single week about the celebrated days. But I saw a post on social media this morning that asked if Super Bowl Monday should be a holiday. I laughed and launched into this list.
