Daily Holidays - November 17

Homemade Bread Day Sliced bread is undoubtedly a good thing – it saves time, and the effort of kneading. But it’s a real shame that so few of us get to taste the yeasty deliciousness that is home-made bread. And that’s where Home-Made Bread Day comes in! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/homemade-bread-day/

World Prematurity Awareness Day World Prematurity Day calls attention to the special issues facing infants born prematurely, celebrates the development and growth of older babies and children who were born prematurely, and is a great day to support members of your community who work with newborns or premature infants, or are parents adjusting with a prematurely born infant. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-prematurity-day/


National Unfriend Day Ever scrolled through your Facebook and realised you don’t recognise half the names popping up in your News Feed? Friend list at 1000 people and counting? Is your wall cluttered with posts you don’t care about from people you don’t remember? Are you sick and tired of all of the TV show spoilers, conceited selfies, constant game invitations and endless photo sessions of someone’s dog/baby/vacation that you are being bombarded with 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 day a year? If you’ve answered yes to at east one of these questions, then Unfriend Day is probably the perfect the holiday for you! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/unfriend-day/

(Retired, but one never stops being an R.N., just as one never stops being a cop or Marine).
She worked her entire career taking care of preemies in the local hospital. She was, you'll pardon the expression, never aware there was such a day.
