I am not a sucker for every wacky holiday made up by social media, or
the greeting card industry, or even my kids' schools. There are even
some long-time, well-established holidays that I would happily do
without. And yet, when I read that today was National Chocolate Day, I
could not, even in my post-late-night, what-day-is-it stupor, resist.
And so it was that I made fudge (though exhaustion and distraction made
it turn out not QUITE like the recipe). And so it was that I entered a
contest to win a book about chocolate (likely making myself a target for
all manner of online marketing). And so it was that I had a bit of
chocolate with breakfast, a bit with lunch, and a bit more when I
arrived home from my long night of work (nobody really has to know that I
do some of these things even when it's NOT National Chocolate Day).
It may well be that not EVERY holiday that someone invented has to be
celebrated by us all. That much celebration could, among other things,
make life pretty unproductive. But once in a while, I happen upon one
that I consider well worth it. And maybe this one, while we're at it, can last
for a month.
