"Bathtub Party Day encourages us all to skip the ordinary shower and linger in the tub instead. On December 5th, add some suds to the tub and pamper yourself. A bathtub party sounds suspiciously like a crowded affair, but it doesn’t have to be. Granted, if you have young children, it’s a time saver to plunk two or three of them in the tub at once. Getting them all suds up and playing with the water toys are some of the more memorable times raising children. It also saves on water while everyone has some good clean fun. For the adults, the benefits of a quiet soak in the tub add up quickly. A steamy bath during cold and flu season helps to clear our sinuses and improve your oxygen intake. It also increases our circulation. The warm water reduces inflammation, easing achy joints and sore muscles. It also helps relieve stress. Dropping temperatures outside mean cold hands and feet, or just a chilled body in general. A soak in a warm tub warms us right up. Our skin loves the steam from the bath, but be sure to moisturize, too. Add bath oil to your bathwater to gain the most benefit of your Bathtub Party. Enjoy all the benefits of a Bathtub Party and celebrate with bubbles of all kinds!"
My notes: I love taking baths but don't do it often. I'm not the type who can sit in one for a long time, relaxing, reading. Very uncomfortable in our smallish tub lol Who likes baths? How often do you take them?

I do like baths but don't get the chance to take them very often. It's not very efficient when I work full time, LOL.

"International Ninja Day recognizes the fascination associated with the history and pop culture of the ninja. Ninjas first appeared around the year 600. Historically, they served samurai warriors. They spied on or assassinated an enemy. While some sources suggest they were fallen samurai, most point to the common man – and woman. They walked among the farmers and servants of everyday life. However, the skills of a ninja were passed down from generation to generation. If a father were a ninja, then he would likely train his son or daughter to be one, too. In Japan, museums focus on ninja history and lifestyle.
Ninja Museum of Igaryū – The museum features the tools of the trade, demonstrations, and residences. Kōka Ninja Village – Attend ninja camp and challenges. Tour the museum and many more facilities.
Novels and films have brought the way of the ninja to the mainstream. From Japanese action films to animated turtles, ninja movies covered the spectrum. Spy novels, comic books, and series captured the imaginations of every age. Their mystery fed storylines across genres until ninja became a genre all its own."
My notes: I love martial arts & its movies. I didn't know Ninjas were around for a very long time!

"If you like chocolate and you like cake, then National Sacher Torte Day on December 5th is a perfect day for you! The layered ingredients make this dessert a delicious torte! Sacher Torte, also known as Sachertorte, is a unique type of chocolate cake. Austrian Franz Sacher invented it in 1832. Vienna considers the Sachertorte one of their most famous culinary specialties."
My notes: I've never heard of this. Who has? Do you like it?

"Light up A Life Day is a holiday held every year on December 5 in Ireland. It takes place close to Christmas right when Christmas lights are going up. The holiday is an opportunity for people to put up lights that honor loved ones they may have lost. The day is a celebration of life and a great way to remember those who have left us. It helps to keep the memories alive and provides emotional relief for anyone who may be grieving during the holidays. The holidays are a time we usually set aside to spend with the people we love. When those people are gone, it can be very difficult to cope. Commemorating them with others makes it easier." My notes: This can be for anybody, regardless where they are from as it's a great idea! Who has heard of this? What do you do for it? Grief is there but can be more pronounced during the holiday season. Take time to remember your loved ones. The dead & the living! Emerald
