  1. wow! I'm the first and it's my birthday tomorrow on Candlemas Day. I knew about candlemas but not that it was hedgehog day! this is a bit of a coincidence because my husband used to call me a hedgehog - my hair was short and stuck up a bit and he also said I have the nose of one!! That's ok, I like them :)

  11. February is a busy month for our family. It is my husband's birthday, our anniversary, and our daughter's birthday on Leap Day! Top all that off with Valentine's Day and that's alot of celebrating.
    I see from your list that my husband's birthday is also "do it my way" day. Should I tell him....
    or not!
    I love all of our special February days and will eat chocolate for all!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Well, Valentine's day is special, but Feb. 16 is my husband's birthday and Feb. 19 is my daughter's birthday, so that trumps the rest!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Happy February! The 16th will be my dad's 88th birthday! I love that so many of the days this month have a candy connection! The 7th Send a Card to a Friend Day is the perfect day for me to get in touch with the people who have been my support team throughout my cancer treatment. I'll be a little more than halfway through radiation by then! Anne, yourmainestamper

  16. I like the 7th, send a card to a friend day...which I will be doing for sure to let them know how much they are appreciated.

    The 8th is my b-day, and also National Molasses Bar day, not sure what that is, but sure sounds interesting.

    I'd have to say the 25th with Let's All Eat Right and National Chocolate Covered Peanut Day, sounds the best!!!

    ReplyDelete
  17. The 27th "No Brainer Day" sounds real good. LOL! But my favorite is the 14th because it's my anniversary.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Well, I thought I knew what I would pick until I read the list. A couple I'm not even sure what it is. I did see a bit of a chocolate theme, didn't you? So I'll go with any of the chocolate-themed days.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I love knowing that Feb 3rd is Carrot Cake Day.... just may have to head out to a local eatery and get a slice for a treat! It's one of my favorites and I haven't had any in ages.
    Thanks for the chance at the great blog candy too!
