Welcome to our series sharing Unique Holidays: December 5th, 2021. Did you know today is Bathtub Party Day which I have to keep a secret from Charlie or I will never be able to get into our Garden Tub to take a bath. So, if you want to borrow my bath you better hurry because I plan on sinking into a tub of bubbles with a nice glass of Wine and tune everyone out.
Bathtub Party Day– Always December 5th.
Bathtub Party Day is today so it’s time to draw yourself a bath tub full of warm water. Add a few bath oil beads, and you’re ready to hop in and “soak” in the bathtub. How soothing and relaxing!
Don’t let anything disturb the Peace, quiet, and serenity of your bath. Turn off your cell phone and put on your favorite CDs loud enough that you will not hear the doorbell ring.
The creators of this Holiday at Wellcat.comWellcat.com encourage you to invite a friend to your bathtub party. Light candles and open a bottle of wine, place snacks within reach because you are going to have a great time.

Repeal Day – The 21st Amendment ends Prohibition. This holiday is always on December 5th.
Repeal Day is today and it commemorates the repeal of the 18th Amendment. Once more, Americans were free to buy, sell, and consume Alcoholic beverages.
In the early 1900’s, many of the good people of America believed that Alcohol was the root cause of many social ills in the Country. Prohibition on a National Scale, was promoted in part by the American Christian Women’s Temperance Union. This movement grew in popularity. Ultimately, the United States Congress passed the 18th Amendment on January 16th, 1919 which prohibited the manufacture, transportation, sale and consumption of Alcohol.
The ban on Alcohol did little to improve the Social conditions of the Country, or to reduce crime. Rather, crime increased as racketeers got into the business of making and selling Alcohol. The popularity of the 18th Amendment waned. More and more groups sought its repeal.
Congress passed the 21st Amendment, effectively repealing the 18th Amendment. On December 5, 1933, the State of Utah voted its approval of the 21st Amendment, achieving the 3/4 of the States need to approve this Amendment. On this day, the 18th Amendment was formally repealed.
Thank you,
