It’s Global Movie Day!  Something that should truly be celebrated at Sylum!

On this day decided to have some fun.  Remember those ‘how many Jelly Beans are in the Jar’ games?  We’re going to do a version of that.

Hot Chocolate! Love it? It’s one of my favorite drinks outside my precious tea!

Actually Pastry Day was December 9th but WordPress was cranky and hadn’t posted it.

It took me way to long to notice it.  So I put it to the side for a random day.

It’s a Random Day!  Pastries?  Love them?  What’s your favorite?  Or do you prefer something else?

It’s Penguin Day!

No we don’t mean these guys.  Though they would like appreciate a day just for them.

Also it’s not the NHL team.

It’s these little (okay some are not that little) guys.

For more information: Penguins

We have a bird feeder out back, and every morning watch the little guys try to stack 20 of them onto it.  We also have an owl living somewhere nearby, and can totally understand Warrick’s growling over the HOOT!

Do you have favorite bird watching spots?  Bird Feeders in your yard or patio?

Love it? Hate it?

It’s National Eggnog Day.  Love it? Hate it?

As an avid tea drinker I have lots and lots of teas in the house.

What’s your favorite tea? Especially on these cold winter days.

Saint Nicholas of Myra (traditionally 15 March 270 – 6 December 343), also known as Nicholas of Bari, was an early Christian bishop of Greek descent from the maritime city of Myra in Asia Minor (Greek: Μύρα; modern-day Demre, Turkey) during the time of the Roman Empire. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nicholas the Wonderworker. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, prostitutes, children, brewers, pawnbrokers, unmarried people, and students in various cities and countries around Europe. His reputation evolved among the faithful, as was common for early Christian saints, and his legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave rise to the traditional model of Santa Claus (“Saint Nick”) through Sinterklaas.

Happy Mickey Mouse Day!

Robert is on a new adventure, and yes he’s dragged his Sire with him.
