It's "Twosday." This particular day is the only day this century that will be all twos. (Okay, full disclosure, there will be a 2/22/22 coming up, but you get the idea.) Cool, right? Okay, maybe. So what's special about this day?
It's Groundhog Day. So on Twosday we discover the fake weather forecast from an oblivious rodent. How nice!
It's my brother's birthday. Happy Birthday!! Okay, you guys don't much care, but ...
By this date in 1349 at least 200 people a day were being buried in London as a result of the Black Death. Oh, that's not good.
On this day in 1653 New Amsterdam became a city. Oh, sorry, you're probably not familiar with that town. Today we call it "New York City." Know it now?
The opening of the first Winter Olympics in 1924?
Oh, oh! Here's one! Today is California Kiwi Fruit Day! Well ... it is. Marmot Day in Alaska? Hey, I'm trying here.
Oh, I got one. On this day in 1922 it was 2/2/22. Twosday!
There are lots of reasons to celebrate Twosday, although I don't really include most of the above. The best, I think, is quite old. "This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" (Psa 118:24). Sure, that's every day. But it's a good reason to celebrate.
