@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈Oodie I read your post from last night. I had
the sniffles and took some meds I was going to sleep off and on during the Game.
I also saw where a spammer put some very unwanted info on this thread and in the HSN
Community. SMH.

Oodie you certainly have your work cut out for your husband return home. 💕🎈I think
everyone in the HSN Community is looking forward to that.

Thank you for the tip on keeping the cats food warm. Oodie the cats have always came
on the porch to eat they have very nice bowls and fresh water and a mat to keep warm.
I even have to large planters the size of Texas so they can hide if need be. LOL!

I am glad you stayed home because whatever you have can be given to your husband.
I hope he is doing well. 🎈

Oz is alright today a bit chilly but we are not freezing. 💕

Here enjoy some warm tea with your Manuka Honey. Please feel better soon.

@xango,

Good day in sunny Florida. 😎🎈💕Oz is alright for now we are in the 40’s. This is

CHRISTMAS CARD DAY

Each year around this time, friends and families begin mailing their holiday cards. Christmas Card Day on December 9th serves as a reminder to get your stamps, envelopes, and cards together so you can share your holiday cheer.

Sending a card during the holidays hasn’t always been a tradition. In Victorian England, sending Penny Post was inexpensive and frequent. It was also considered rude to ignore a written message. One particularly popular Victorian invented the holiday card out of necessity. Sir Henry Cole received frequent letters, and it left him little time for other responsibilities. In 1843, he asked his friend J.C. Horsley to illustrate a design he had in mind. Soon, Cole was off to the printer, and he mailed the first Christmas card in the Penny Post to friends, family, and many acquaintances.

LUTEFISK DAY

On December 9th, Lutefisk Day reminds residents in Norway, Finland, and Sweden to begin preparing their lutefisk for Christmas. The day is also referred to as Anna’s Day.

In case you’re not Scandinavian, lutefisk is basically cod that gets soaked in lye. After the cod is caught, it’s dried to the point of becoming firm and leathery. To tenderize the fish and bring it back to its former condition, it gets soaked in lye. Once it’s nice and tender, the lutefisk is skinned and boned.

Finally, the fish is boiled until it reaches a gelatinous consistency. Another way to prepare lutefisk is to season it and bake it in the oven.
Some say that lutefisk tastes mildly fishy with a soapy aftertaste. Many people would say that lutefisk doesn’t smell so good. To make it more edible, some people coat the fish in beer batter and deep fry it. Despite its taste and smell, many die-hard Scandinavians still eat lutefisk. It is a Christmas tradition, after all.

WEARY WILLIE DAY

Weary Willie Day on December 9th recognizes the art of clowning and the impact it has on our lives. This holiday was named for the character made famous by Emmett Kelly, who was born on this day in 1898.

Amen
