Today is United Nations Day. What is that? I had to look it up and here is what Wikipedia says:
“The anniversary of the entry into force of the United Nations Charter on 24 October 1945 has been celebrated as United Nations Day since 1948. It has traditionally been marked throughout the world by meetings, discussions and exhibits on the achievements and goals of the Organization. In 1971, the General Assembly recommended that Member States observe it as a public holiday”.
I can’t say that I attended any meetings or discussions on the merits of the organization but Happy Birthday anyway! Ah.. any personalized party favors being passed out at these meetings?
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always marked the monthly 25th by noting how many months until Christmas. Jan 25 is announced with “there’s only 11 more months”. Today is Oct 24 – only “2 more months until Christmas Eve”! Time to start implementing all those great ideas for holiday party favors!
