Bird Day and Whipped Cream Day

Today we celebrate our winged neighbors and a light sweet treat. It’s our last day of Christmas, so let’s enjoy!

National Bird Day

birdholly We don’t see too much of our feathered friends in Wintertime. Quite a few migrate to warmer climes. However, not all of them do and it’s good to have a special day to remember and care for them.

Something we like to do for the holidays is to decorate the trees outside with items that are edible to birds such as dried berries, cheerios, peanut butter, bird seed. Here are some ideas you can try to make a bird-friendly garland for your non-migratory birds.

Whipped Cream Day

Whipped Cream, also known as Snow Cream, was first mentioned in 1673. Early versions were sweetened and flavored with such things as vanilla, chocolate, orange, rose and coffee. They also used the term Chantilly Creme for these dessert treats.

The reason today is Whipped Cream Day is to celebrate the birthday of Reddi-wip creator, Aaron “Bunny” Lapin. He came up with the canned cream treat in 1948. Some people prefer the canned treat to the scoop-able stuff. Some people prefer whipping heavy cream by hand. Some people just eat it straight from the tub or nibble it off of a loved one (say no more, let’s keep this PG here). No matter how you take it, whipped cream is a tasty addition to any sundae, pie or whatever you’re hungry for.

For the Twelfth Day of Christmas, it’s twelve drummers drumming. Not the Little Drummer Boy. Not gonna happen.
