December 28, 2013: I’m 100% in favor of Card Playing Day. Whether it’s Crazy Eights or Old Maid or Poker or Hearts or Pinochle or whatever you want to play, card games with friends are totally awesome. Let’s also celebrate the thousandth chocolate-related holiday of the year with National Chocolate Candy Day; I might play with the Hershey’s Kiss or the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, but I don’t think I trust the Ferrero Rocher. Those guys always seemed a little too highfalutin’. (I will also note here that spell check has absolutely no problem with “highfalutin”.)
