All Hallow’s Eve
I am on a Holiday and should not be writing this, but I am doing so anyway. Cannot help myself, I guess. There is no question that Halloween is my favorite Holiday. Not because of the ghosts and ghouls but because it is “Houdini Day,” the day that the greatest magician of all time passed to the great beyond. Honoring Houdini on Houdini Day is important. But today is still 307 days until Houdini Day (October 31), so for the sake of this post we are going to want to explore other aspects of the meaning of today’s date.
It is for the Birds
Today is also the 4th Day of Christmas, the day of the 4 calling birds. The funny thing is though, when you dig into is a bit deeper you uncover that all these years you have been singing “calling birds” when the reality is, it started out as “colly birds. A lot of times when depicted on holiday cards the 4 calling birds are being warm and fuzzy when they began as being crows.
Looking Forward
Well, at least in this noticeably short post we have explored something festive in keeping with the holiday spirit. But I still look forward to a day upcoming that its distance away if measured in months is exactly 10.0931. Happy 2021 everyone!
