January 25, 2014 The 25th day of 2014 54 days until spring begins Today in History: Burns Night The birthday of Scotlands most famous poet, Robert Burns (1759-1796), has become an occasion for Scots all over the world to gather together in his honor. A Burns Night supper usually includes haggis, a traditional dish of the heart, lungs, and liver of a sheep or calf minced with suet, onions, oatmeal, and seasonings. Burnss words Hail Great Chieftan o the Puddin-race! greets the dishs entry into the room. Men wear kilts and women their tartan sashes, and the evenings celebration includes reading Burnss poems and singing his songs, ending with one of his most famous, Auld Lang Syne. Today is : Opposite Day is a topsy, turvy day when everything you say, do, see, and hear are the opposite. If you say go left, you mean go right. If you say look up, it means look down. If you see your left foot...is it really your right? Yesiree, Bob. Opposite Day can be a whole lot of fun. It can also be very, very confusing. This special day is celebrated primarily among school children. Sponge Bob Square Pants even got into the act, with an episode containing the whimsical nature of this day. Thought for the Day: Opposites attract. ENJOY the snow today.
