Good morning, welcome to our series sharing Unique Holidays: November 17th, 2021. Take a look at the Holidays being celebrated today and let me know which one you want to celebrate and why. If we knew how Charlie and I could make Homemade Bread for his Homeschool Cooking Class but there is no, time to do that this morning. Instead I think we will send a Electronic Greeting Card to his Grandmother.
Electronic Greeting Card Day – now who do you think created this day!? always November 17th
Electronic Greeting Card Day is today which is the perfect time to send free Ecards to everyone you know.
Most people love to send and receive Ecards because they are fun, and free… a great combination.
In exchange for the free cards, you may have to put up with a lot of pop-up ads because they support the sites, and make it possible for you to get, and send Ecards cards for free. The ads are easily closed and deleted, a small price for all of the fun.
Hop on an electronic greeting card site, and send a few Animated cards today. Don’t just limit the fun to today. The online greeting card sites have cards for every day of the year.
Homemade Bread Day– Always November 17th.
Bakers of the world, rise up and bake Bread, because today is Homemade Bread Day.
Bread has been made for thousands of years and estimates date it’s origin back to 5000-10,000 B.C. Modern day lifestyles has relegated Homemade Bread to the world of Holiday Baking. People just don’t have time to bake Home Made Bread. We turn to a quick “run” to bakeries or grocery stores, for Bread. The arrival of Automatic Bread Makers has created a small resurgence of home made Breads, including specialty Breads.
The purpose of this Holiday is easy to understand. Make Home Made Bread, and to encourage you and me to make bake Nutritious Bread. Take a little time out of your busy day, and bake Bread. Your nose, your taste buds, and your whole family will be glad you did.
Origin of Homemade Bread Day:
From our research, it appears that this Holiday is sponsored by the Homemade Bread Day Committee of Montague, Mi. We did not find their website and we have yet to uncover more information about this Holiday.
Take A Hike Day– always November 17th
Its time to take a Hike because today is Take a Hike Day is today.
Walking, and Hiking is an excellent way to get exercise, and get into shape. Hikes are distinguished from walks, in that they are taken in the Woods, Hills, or Mountains, or somewhere in a Nature setting. Hikes not only give you exercise, they provide scenic sites and vistas, that are good for relaxation of the mind and soul.
There is some reference to this as National Tell Your Boss to Take a Hike Day but we think this Holiday likely evolved out of Take a Hike Day. We have found no factual information whatsoever, on the explanation of Take a Hike Day. We also believe that telling your boss to “take a hike”, may not be healthy to your employment situation.
Some people have suggested that this Holiday be used to tell someone to “take a hike”. We leave this use up to the reader!
Use this Holiday to take a Hike, alone or with others. Make it a goal to Hike today and work off the meal you recently had.
World Peace Day– always November 17th
World Peace Day encourages us to be kind to others, and teach others to be Peaceful.
The creator of this Holiday, encourages us as individuals, to play a role in making the world a better place and the creator believes it starts with us. He suggests we teach our children and others, in ways to promote Peace, and avoid war. He also invites us to write our County’s leadership about our support for Peace and World Harmony. Without Peace, the consequences is tragic.
Do your part to promote Peace on this Holiday. If we all act on this issue, we theoretically could make War and strife obsolete.

Origin of World Peace Day:
World Peace Day appears to be a grass roots effort which was started by Don Morris of Miami Florida and the Holiday was started around 1997. You may also know Don as “Peaceguy”. That’s a pretty good alias!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
