November 14, 2013: It’s a busy day today! National Pickle Day is one of my favorite food holidays of the year; kosher dills are my #1. I can also get behind Spicy Guacamole Day (there’s also a day for the non-spicy kind on September 16). Although I don’t know if I’d mix pickles and guacamole together. Operating Room Nurse Day honors the nurses who care for you before, during, and after surgery, and they definitely deserve a day.

National American Teddy Bear Day is yet another teddy bear holiday, because we certainly need another. (I’m totally rolling my eyes here.) This one hits on the fact that the modern-day teddy bear as we know it was created after Teddy Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear … while on a bear-hunting trip. Yeah, I don’t quite get it either. Anyhoo, um … go America!
