Happy Chinese New Year and Happy National Florida Day and
Happy National Opposite Day - I mean Unhappy National Opposite Day
In China, the New Year's celebration lasts 15 days from the first day of the new moon until the full moon. It's the biggest holiday in Chinese culture. They don't celebrate Christmas so Chinese New year is a time to gather as families and enjoy good food and each other. If you like games, there are plenty of online Mahjong games you can play to celebrate. Youngest daughter, Katherine, and I plan to celebrate by getting Chinese food take-out and fortune cookies.
National Florida Day commemorates the day Florida became the 27th state. I would say celebrate by going to the beach but it's been cold all along the East Coast of the US, including Florida! If you're crafty, the Dollar Store sells shells. you can create a nautical fairy garden. Or paint a picture of a sunset or sunrise of the ocean. Or watch or read Because of Winn-Dixie (book author - Kate DiCamillo). Or play Ticket to Ride and see who can get to Florida first. Drink orange juice while you play. Use #NationalFloridaDay to share how you're celebrating on social media.
It's not National Opposite Day. Boy, is this paragraph going to be easy to write! To not celebrate, have dinner for breakfast, I mean breakfast for dinner. However you don't celebrate, make sure those around you don't know that you don't mean the opposite of what you say, or don't say. I'm not confused at all! Please don't use #NationalOppositeDay to post on social media.
Let me know how you're not celebrating today. 😉
