I’m not a big fan of overblown holidays. Every year Halloween seems to get gorier and sleazier. Valentine’s Day is only an opportunity to turn the thumbscrews on your significant other. And Christmas is just plain exhausting; physically, emotionally and financially. Then there’s the sugar: candy corn, pastel jelly beans, Christmas cookies, and chocolate in the shape of bunnies, Santas, turkeys, pumpkins, and Valentine hearts. Does every major holiday need to come with a designated sweet? The minor holidays, on the other hand, are a delight. On Monday my mother and I celebrated Spaghetti Day at the Spaghetti Factory in Orem. Next Monday is Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friends Day. It’s well below freezing where I live, so the “splash your friends” part might be problematic. But I can definitely manage the rest. If I’m lucky enough to find a puddle with a thin layer of ice on top, even better.
