Daily Holidays February 8

[Sherman A1]

Molasses Bar Day If you’ve never had molasses, then Molasses Bar Day would be the perfect and most apt day to try it! Molasses, or treacle in British English, is essentially a thick sugary syrup made from sugarcane or sugar beets that contains large amounts of calcium, iron and magnesium. Beet molasses is 50% sugar by weight, and sugar is sometimes extracted from beet molasses through molasses desugarization. Cane molasses is more commonly used in cooking. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/molasses-bar-day/

Laugh and Get Rich Day Oh good, you’re laughing already! I know you think that it is a silly excuse to have a holiday but think about it! Laughing helps in everything. It even helps in tediously dry and boring moments. Don’t tell me you haven’t had the rogue giggle attack in a moment of seriousness! Have you ever had to excuse yourself just to leave the room before that giggle attack takes over? Heaven help you if your friend is in the room. You do know that a friend in close proximity increases the potency of those giggles, right? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/laugh-and-get-rich-day/

Opera Day Operas have been captivating audiences since the sixteenth century, and this highly revered art form continues to gain new enthusiasts today. An opera is a piece of performance art that combines music with text, and is often a dramatic enaction of a story, complete with acting, scenery and costumes. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/opera-day/

Kite Flying Day Do you really need ideas on how to celebrate Kite Flying Day? I’ll give you a few to get you started and I am sure once you set your mind to it, you’ll have more ideas that you can count. Let’s be like Mary Poppins! Gather all the kiddos in your life and make a party of it! Sit down and have a kite making session – glitter included! Then march on down to the park and go fly a kite! You may want to prepare yourself and the kids by calmly watching Mary Poppins and learn the Kite Flying Song! That way when you march to the park you can be sure to sing it as you go! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/kite-flying-day/

When I read "Molasses Bar," my first thought wasn't a cookie, but like a salad bar with different kinds of molasses! I'll have the blackstrap, please?
