Daily Holidays - December 8

National Chocolate Brownie Day Fun fact: Brownies were born in America in the early 1900s and were classified as a cookie (rather than a cake). Why? Because they’re eaten with your hands.

Brownie Caramel Cheesecake
Thin Mint Brownie Pie
Microwave Chocolate Mug Brownie

Green Monday Best Days For Holiday Deals? Green Monday and Super Saturday, With Thanksgiving Day discounts, Black Friday door busters, Small Business Saturday specials and Cyber Monday savings all in the rear view mirror, are there any deals ahead for December shoppers?

Count on it, say consumer experts. Two of the season's best days for bargain hunters — Green Monday and Super Saturday — are just ahead.

After an unexpected dip in sales over Thanksgiving weekend, (the National Retail Federation estimates holiday sales dropped 11 percent over the four-day period), retailers will be doing their best to get shoppers to open their wallets between now and Christmas. http://www.courant.com/savvy-shopper/hc-holiday-sales-outlook-1209-20141207-story.html#page=1

Pretend To Be A Time Traveler Day Pretend to be a time traveller day is on December 8th – so we’re telling you in good time. Although you can pretend to be a time traveller every day. Or, indeed, be one.

December 8th has been declared “Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day.” The whole idea is to pretend for the day that you are a traveller from a different time – except that, of course, you can’t actually tell people you’re a time traveller, because they’ll think you’re crazy. There are, of course, options as to how a traveller from another timezone might act: http://www.mookychick.co.uk/opinion/geek-girl/pretend-to-be-a-time-traveller-day.php

We have so many pics of the youngest in the family playing with the box, while the toy just sat there. Those were the days. Sigh.
