ReplyDeleteHey, I had no idea it was national Hobby Month! Now there is no excuse not to have a hobby. :)
ReplyDeleteLook at all those celebrations! I spotted a few that I will mark on my calendar!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great month!
Hugs,
Kay
My favorite Feb celebrations is my B-day. LOL. But you don't have it on your list. Love the list though.
ReplyDeleteI think that spunky old broads sounds like a fitting one...especially since my b-day falls this month and I'm "one of them" :)
ReplyDeleteI think I like crepe day!!! I love them and it falls on my birthday too!!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHi! What a list for Feb! WOW! I like Give a Compliment Day and Make a Friend Day!! I love people, and I like to talk!! That gives me a good chance to do what I like!! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI love February! It's my birth month and the month I met my husband to be. Of course, it took 4 years for him to have that title officially. LOL But he's had it for 25 years in June of this year.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many, I can have a favorite a DAY!
ReplyDeleteToday is GI Joe day!!
We have a sports cards and memorabilia store, plus we do some vintage toys. Let's just say I know GI Joe a little TOO well . . .
;)
Wow! February already! My favorite this month will be my 25th anniversary on the 14th!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the info Roni. February is a big month for our family. My sister, my sister-in-law and my niece all have birthdays this month. And my best friend also has a birthday this month. So what I love the most about February is being able to celebrate the special days of some of the people I love most in the world!
ReplyDeleteElaine Allen
P.S. Please wish your brother a very Happy Birthday!
Fun ... Feb 23 my sons birthday and taking a plane on 29th ... leap of faith?
ReplyDeleteHi ..... for a short month it sure is a busy one!!! I'm liking 'ELMO DAY' ... he's so cute & cuddly. Cheers :)
ReplyDeleteSpunky Old Broads day was pretty chuckly, but my kids would disagree and have to say that Elmo's Birthday is a pretty cool day too!
ReplyDeleteHappy February!!! I always get a kick out of your list of monthly holidays and will have to say that my favorites on the list are National Hobby Month for obvious reasons (more justification for locking myself up in my craft room!) and No Brainer Day (hee hee), and For Pete's Sake Day! Who in the world came up with that one?? Someone named Pete?
ReplyDeleteWell, it HAS to be February4th...National Ice Cream For Breakfast Day AND National Popcorn Day. You just can't beat that!

My favorite celebrationg day is Feb 27th, No Brainer Day, because it's simply a no brainer lol. Of course my other favorite would have to be my Birthday Feb 13th. Thanks for posting this, it's a great read!
ReplyDeleteWithout a doubt my fav is the 19th- chocolate mint day! Heaven!!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth my husband and daughter were born on the 6th so that's my favorite celebration. Also loving chocolate fondue day!
ReplyDeleteAlthough my Birthday is on the 10th, my favorite celebration is the 4th- Ice Cream for Breakfast Day- even though in my mind, Ice Cream is appropriate for any meal!! Also love the 23rd-Tennis Day, my son's sport of choice.
ReplyDeleteI love February 17th - Random Acts of Kindness Day! Thanks for posting all of these wonderful observances!
ReplyDeleteMardi Gras/Fat Tuesday - I love splurging before the fast. Great celebration!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Baked Alaska - as it's my birthday I can ask for it, don't usually get it, but I keep trying. On the other hand I think I belong uner the Spunky Old Broads heading, good job it's for the month LOL.
ReplyDeleteI like President Day, Because It's a holiday and if I work it I get Triple Time.
ReplyDeleteI like Send a Card to a Friend Day as it always to good to make a friend smile. I love the first of the month when I get to check your blog to see this list. Thanks for the list
ReplyDeleteWOW!! February is full of great "days"!!! Love "Spunky Old Broads" Day and any of them that have to with food! Beings how it's Hobby Month, I've decided that every day this month I'm doing something creative. So far, I've made 2 cards to send and balanced my checkbook..now THAT WAS being creative!!!
ReplyDeleteICE CREAM FOR BREAKFAST DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy February!! Hard to believe it's already the 2nd month already! Wish I had know it was Ice Cream For Breakfast Day today (the 4th) because we went out for breakfast!! LOL I'll pick the 20th as my favorite... Love your Pet Day!!... I love my fur babies!!
ReplyDeleteHere's another special February day for you. This one's called Tu B'Shvat, Hebrew for the 15th of the (Jewish) month of Shvat, but it falls out in February, this year on Wednesday, the 8th. It's the new year, or "Rosh Hashana", for the trees and all other blooming things, when their fate for the year is decided.It's great to celebrate the day with fruit, especially the 7 special ones of Israel,i.e. wheat, barley, grapes, pomegranates, olives, dates and figs. Check this out for more info: http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/3264/jewish/Tu-BShevat.htm
ReplyDeleteHave a happy and fruitful February, y'all!
I gave birth to my second son 10 years ago in February~ that day will always be special to me!
ReplyDelete(I love Valentines Day, too...)
Happy Birthday Roni's brother!
Sweet Potato Day and Potato Chip Day! Recently I discovered Sweet potato chips and cannot get enough of them. TFS

ReplyDeleteI never knew that there's "Send a Card to a Friend Day" that existed! This is so cool, I think it is great to have this day ahead of Valentine's day. While we will enjoy the accompany of our loved ones during Valentine, friends should not be forgotten too. Especially to the single friends out that, to be reminded that they are not alone in the season of Love.
