Daily Holidays -April 3

[Sherman A1]

National Chocolate Mousse Day Savory mousse dishes were an 18th century French achievement. Dessert mousses (generally fruit mousses) began to appear much later, in the second half of the 19th century.
The first written record of chocolate mousse in the United States comes from a Food Exposition held at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1892.
Chocolate mousse came into the public eye in the U.S. in the 1930s, about the time as chocolate pudding mixes were introduced. http://foodimentary.com/2014/04/03/april-3-is-national-chocolate-mousse-day/

Don’t Go To Work Unless it’s Fun Day Don't Go to Work Unless it's Fun Day is observed on April 03, 2015. If it's going to be fun at work on this day, get up and go. Otherwise, stay at home or do whatever you like. But be aware: the idea of not going to work unless the day is going to be fun is risky without asking your boss... http://www.cute-calendar.com/event/dont-go-to-work-unless-its-fun-day/12938-world.html

Find A Rainbow Day Perhaps one of the more interesting and yet lesser-known holidays is an event that is known as Find a Rainbow Day. As you may have already guessed, this celebration occurs during the month of April each year (after all, the early spring is known for its fair share of these beautifully stunning phenomena).

Of course, finding a rainbow is not as easy as it sounds and if you are lucky enough to find yourself outside just after a rainstorm in early April, you may just be able to catch a quick glimpse and even take a snapshot of one of these wonderful natural events.

While the exact origins of this day remain rather obscure, there are many who enjoy cooking colourful foods on this day; treats such as jello and cookies being some of the most common items. So, it appears that there are indeed times when a bit of rain is not necessarily a bad thing! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/find-a-rainbow-day/

Tweed Day There is some confusion as to what exactly Tweed Day is commemorating – is it the corrupt American Democratic boss famous for running the Tammany Hall political machine, William M “Boss” Tweed, who also ran the “Tweed Ring” which stole between $30 to $200 million through political corruption in New York, or is it the unique Scottish fabric, usually fashioned into suits, jackets and trousers in patterns such as hounds tooth and herringbone?

The obvious answer would be the Scottish material, although there is no record of April 3rd having any relevance to the origins of Tweed, the mistake that had it named Tweed, or any founders’ birth or death dates as is the usual case with days such as this.

April 3rd does have a special relevance to Boss Tweed though – he was born April 3rd, 1823. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/tweed-day/

World Party Day! World Party Day is based on the idea that peace is not the opposite of war, merely its absence. The real opposite of war is party, and World Party Day aims to synchronise a massive, world-wide party to celebrate everything that’s good and optimistic.

Vanna Bonta almost certainly had no idea when she wrote Flight: A Quantum Fiction Novel that the idea in the book of a global human celebration would really take off. It has though, and people celebrate in all sorts of ways.

“Pass the food and turn up the music” is a common slogan on World Party Day, but it doesn’t really matter how you celebrate, or even whether you celebrate alone or in company. The premise is that everyone in the world is joined in party, so you can really do anything you like as long as it involves celebrating the joy of existence. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-party-day/

3. "Don’t Go To Work Unless it’s Fun Day"

In most of Europe, "Karfreitag" is a national holiday, anyhow, so except for essentials, like cops, airport personnel, public transportation workers, etc, its a forced holiday here anyway. I would have loved another day of work before I take off for the USA next week, but no way. The only one working here next Monday is the Easter Bunny, and even he has only a half day.......

7. By Monday

The Easter Bunny should just be doing his paperwork and filing his taxes. The poor fellow has a tough weekend ahead!
