"Youâre Welcomegiving Day is observed annually on the day after Thanksgiving. Conventionally when someone thanks us for a kindness or service, we respond by saying, âYouâre Welcome.â So, it was inevitable that someone would suggest the day after Thanksgiving we should remember to say, âYouâre welcome.â The phrase âyouâre welcomeâ covers a variety of thank yous in English. Whether the appreciation is coming from an individual or a group, âyouâre welcomeâ works. It can be said while giving a hug, a handshake, or a smile. When we really mean that our effort was meant with care, âyouâre very welcomeâ goes a long way. Our tone and facial expressions say a lot, too. However, in other languages, âyouâre welcomeâ doesnât translate so well. The plural and singular âyouâ is part of the problem. Also, in some languages, the phrase is unknown altogether. Variations of a response to a show of appreciation exist all over the world, but âyouâre welcomeâ as a polite social necessity seems to only exist in English. Other similar responses in English exist, but they donât seem as automatic making them more sincere when spoken. Try these examples out the next time someone thanks you:
It was our pleasure. I was honored to do it. Our home is your home. I was happy to (fill in the blank). It was a delight having you. I hope someone will do the same for me if Iâm ever in the same predicament. We enjoyed (fill in the blank). This is our favorite thing to do!"
My notes: Manners never go out of style.

"Each year on November 27th, National Bavarian Cream Pie Day recognizes a pie that makes a grand entrance. This rich and delectable dessert is possible, thanks to the French chef, Marie-Antione CarĂȘme. In the early 19th century, CarĂȘme established many of the French cooking techniques still used today. Heâs even given credit for abolishing some practices from his kitchens. One dessert CarĂȘme receives credit for includes the creation of Bavarian cream. Perhaps he didnât create it but perfected this gelatin-based pastry cream. Initially, gourmet restaurants and luxury hotels served Bavarian cream pie in France in the early 19th century. Also called crĂšme bavaroise, Bavarian cream is a custard made with gelatin that allows the cream to set more firmly in molds. The cream allows a variety of flavors, hence numerous recipes. Once youâve made the preferred flavor of Bavarian cream, pour into a pie crust and chill until set. Bavarian cream compliments many other desserts, too."
My notes: I have never tried this one before. What do you think of it?

"National Craft Jerky Day, on November 27th, recognizes that craft jerky is the standard by which all other jerky is measured. It awakens the taste buds and ignites the opinions of jerky fans the world over. The day focuses on artisanal creators of this dehydrated, seasoned meat and snack extraordinaire. There remain those who satisfy the worldâs craving with original carnivorous creations in a world sedated by jerky marketing gimmicks. National Craft Jerky Day honors those who blaze their own path in the meat market."
My notes: Do you like jerky? Have you tried making it yourself? I was never into it. We did make it when I was younger however.

"Pins and Needles Day is celebrated every year on November 27. The day celebrates a popular musical performed on Broadway between 1937 and 1940. With music composed by Harold Rome, the musical was originally written for members of the International Ladiesâ Garment Workersâ Union, but its entertaining storyline led to a skyrocketing in popularity. The show was based on the lives of young workers during the American labor movement and acted as a parody of prevalent social issues. The show performed 1,018 times and was even presented to President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his wife at the White House in 1938."
My notes: Who thought this was about crafts? I did lol Any of you heard of this before? I haven't but I think it'd be fun to see if it was caught on tape & to watch it.
