About This Blog

This blog is a chronicle of my insane personal challenge to celebrate at least one holiday or special day for every single day of 2009. Check back daily for new posts and days to add to next year's calendar!

January 30th - Croissant Day

HOW I CELEBRATED

I had a few croissants today to eat, one with breakfast, one in sandwich form at lunch and one in the evening at the coffee shop.

HOW OTHERS MIGHT CELEBRATE

It's a food-related holiday, the rest should be self-evident.

HISTORICAL/CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE

Croissants come from France. These food ones are as arbitrary as the other made-up holidays.

UNOFFICIAL THEME SONG

Check back on a day that it actually matters.
