Daily Holidays - March 21

National French Bread Day The French have been baking long sticks of bread for over 200 years; but it was only in 1920 that the current baguette we know and love came into being. A law was passed in France in 1920 that prohibited anyone from starting work before 4am; making it impossible for French bakers to get their traditional breads baked in time before people went off to work. Voilà, the quick baking baguette was born! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/french-bread-day/

National Common Courtesy Day Politeness and consideration for others abound on Common Courtesy Day. Say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’, hold doors open for others, and consider the feelings and perceptions of those around you throughout the day.
