Daily Holidays - November 20

National Peanut Butter Fudge Day This special holiday was established by the National Peanut Board and is the perfect time to indulge in this sweet treat. It is widely believed that fudge was first created in the 1800s when a batch of caramels didn’t turn out quite right. This mistake turned out to be a delicious revelation that people have been enjoying all around the world ever since. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/peanut-butter-fudge-day/

Name Your PC Day Chances are that you spend a lot of time at your computer, whether that’s at home, work, or on the move; in some cases probably more time than you spend with your friends, family or loved ones! Yet even with all this time together, your PC remains an anonymous stranger – seize the chance to take your relationship to the next level by giving your computer a name on Name Your PC Day. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/name-your-pc-day/

Universal Children's Day You’ve heard so many people say it: children are the future. And whether you yourself have children or not, that still rings true. Today’s children are tomorrow’s scientists, politicians, doctors and teachers. Today’s children will inherit all of what humanity has managed to accomplish since the beginning of its existence, both the good and honorable deeds and the cruel wars and terrible failures. It is the children of today that will be charged with protecting the weak and vulnerable of this world, and making even the hardest of decisions in order to do so. Who then, if not our children, deserves a holiday? This special day is dedicated to all of the children, so that they may enjoy these carefree years while they last and be ready for the responsibilities that await them. So let’s live it up, kids! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/universal-childrens-day/

That's every day.

Just kidding. My PC runs like a top. But no way am I going to name it, whether it's a macho name, a cutesy name, or anything else!
