Tis the Season, 55 1275 South, Monticello, KY (2026)

10/23/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate Friday, October 23, 2026, where today is NATIONAL BOSTON CREAM PIE DAY, NATIONAL CROC DAY, and TV TALK SHOW HOST DAY.
Let us first start with food since it seems every day, we have a food item to celebrate. I am sure that some of the food choices excite us, and some we can nicely say “no thanks.” What about National Boston Cream Pie…. does that spark your interest? Have you ever made one yourself? Is today the day?
Also, what is your opinion of Crocs? Many love their Crocs. Some thought they were going to be a brief fashion pause and then forgotten, but boy weren’t they wrong? The critics were not considering how great they feel on your feet. Plus, some of the styles are quite pretty. To celebrate the day, will you wear your crocs and even purchase another pair to add to your stash?
Now, for TV Talk Show Host Day…. does that spark an interest for you, too? I find it interesting, in part, because it is celebrated today to honor Johnny Carson’s birthday (Oct. 23, 1925-Jan. 23, 2005). Johnny Carson was the host of NBC’s The Tonight Show from 1962-1992.
Fast forward to the 21st Century and we now have a lot of daytime TV hosts (the ladies of The View, Live with Kelly and Mark, etc., etc.) and late-night hosts such as Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel, etc., etc. Do you have a favorite?
Whether you are into TV Talk Shows or not, though, I trust that you are into celebrating the gift of life. Thus, this Friday have you thought of the way that you are going to put your special touch to this day? In my region, the temperature is supposed to be in the low seventies and sunny. With such a beautiful day in sight, are you considering another ride to take in the glorious foliage that is still center stage? Yes, October 23, 2026, looks to be a showstopper. Let the show begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

10/22/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate Thursday, October 22, 2026, where today is NATIONAL COLOR DAY, NATIONAL NUT DAY, EAT A PRETZEL DAY, and SMART IS COOL DAY.
In yesterday’s blog we learned that the MIND loves to celebrate. I think our taste buds and appetite love to celebrate, too, don’t you? Thus, if you love pretzels and/or nuts, why not make your MIND and STOMACH, both happy!
For parents, it would also be a winning scenario if they could convince their children that being SMART is very COOL, too! Many students already feel that being athletically gifted is cool. Being able to rock a guitar or other instruments is cool.…but being SMART, well……some young folks have yet to see the benefit of an education. In fact, some students equate being SMART with being a NERD.
Granted, parents and teachers have their work cut out for them. However, if we can get students on board in becoming independently motivated to become smarter…. well, that would be so SMART! I know, I know…. your task to help your kids see that SMART IS COOL is a little daunting, but it is worth a try!! A start would be if you could make LEARNING a natural by-product of life, not always just a separate class-type setting of instruction (i.e., cooking, baking, carpentry, gardening, running, hiking, fishing, etc., etc.). The WORLD is the greatest classroom/ greatest teacher… where learning occurs often with every breath/every turn!! Cool, right…just as SMART IS COOL!!
Now celebrating National Color Day should be a great deal easier. As easy as taking a tour through your county to see all the COLORFUL splendor that Autumn is now presenting for your viewing pleasure.
What else will you be seeking today? I hope it is something that proves you have decided to celebrate life. Something that resonates that you want to make each day THE BEST DAY EVER!
With that being said, let us try to make it happen.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

10/21/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate Wednesday, October 21, 2026, where today is NATIONAL PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE DAY, APPLE DAY, CELEBRATION OF THE MIND DAY, GARBANZO BEAN DAY, and INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE NACHO.
WOW! Let us start with today’s main topic, food (yum)!
First, we can go globally with Nachos; I like being a world traveler, don’t you? And since APPLES are both delicious and good for us, we certainly might want to honor this celebration, right? It might even encourage us to visit an apple orchard today. The weather in my region looks perfect for apple picking (full sun with temperatures reaching the low seventies, yes!)
Speaking of picking…. to pick a seasonal dessert for today, wouldn’t a Pumpkin Cheesecake be a perfect, delicious place to start? With only one food item left, the Garbanzo Bean (chickpeas), do you think you can work that into today’s menu, as well? How about Hummus or a Chickpea Salad?
With the food topics covered, let us turn now, please, to Celebration of the Mind Day. First, though, some honesty from yours truly. I was not sure I wanted to include this celebration for today’s blog. After checking some images and further research, though, I started to revert my thinking. Then, I quickly changed my mind when I saw a report that stated (paraphrased) that our MIND likes to celebrate!! Ok, ok, the lady that blogs each day about celebrating life, made a quick MIND change.
To discuss the mind, however, would take pages, so perhaps if time will allow, you can do our own exploration of the mind today. Granted we know that it is a complex topic that involves how we feel, perceive, think, reason, etc. Yes, even we as laypeople, know that which makes up our mental processes is quite complex. However, even as very novice health practitioners, we know that how we feed and exercise our mind is particularly important. Thus, since the mind loves to celebrate (according to the experts), let the celebrating begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

10/20/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate Tuesday, October 20, 2026, where today is INTERNATIONAL CHEFS’ DAY, NATIONAL CHICKEN AND WAFFLES DAY, NATIONAL SUSPENDERS DAY, and WORLD OSTEOPOROSIS DAY.
So, what do you plan to celebrate today? Celebrating International Chefs’ Day should bring smiles at your house, right? What culinary delight can you plate for your family and friends today? Since it is INTERNATIONAL Chefs’ Day, will you be creative? Have you ever tried Chicken and Waffles?
Of your family and friends, are one or more of them Suspender Lovers, too? If so, you know what will bring on the smiles for them. Yes, refurbish their suspender stash today. Or at least order some more, and if you are a member of Amazon Prime…. in two – three days be ready for a Suspender Fashion Show. Oh, I can see smiles galore for that show.
Lastly, we all need to be aware of Osteoporosis, and what we can do to help prevent this condition. Ladies, we certainly need to be aware that this malady especially affects older women. I think we could honor this day by seeking more information concerning this condition.
As you begin to research this topic, I believe you will see the advantage of movement to prolong your bone and joint health. Thus, enough reading and time to start moving.
Let the movement begin.
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

10/19/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate Monday, October 19, 2026, where today is NATIONAL SEAFOOD BISQUE DAY and EVALUATE YOUR LIFE DAY.
I might need to make an attitude adjustment about right now to start this bog…. for I feel that the fact that today is Evaluate Your Life Day is hardly a celebratory topic for me. Besides, I evaluate my life every day.
However, maybe today warrants a time to really EVALUATE where we are…. considering the goals and responsibilities that we hope to accomplish in life. AND…. if we are falling short in some of our dreams and visions…. that we should work harder to try to make it happen.
However, some of us might be hard taskmasters…. especially if we are evaluating our lives COMPARED to others.
Could we make this evaluation a little more streamline…. make our goal a little more doable (and kinder for ourselves)? I feel inclined to borrow a line from Lord Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting. “Try to leave this world a little better than you found it.” You might not have the money that you hoped to acquire. Your looks and even your health might leave something to be desired, but is the world better because you are (were) a part of it? Once again, a little too philosophical for today? Maybe?
Would you rather discuss the deliciousness of a bowl of Seafood Bisque. With a delicious cream base, decide which seafood of choice (crab, shrimp, lobster, etc.) is going to jump into the bowl. For me, it does not matter about the sea crustaceans; though, for it is the cream sauce that I cherish the most. However, with the high price of lobster, I might shrimp on that and go with the crab. (Sorry, at 6:30 AM that is all I have, ha)!
Bon Appetit!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

10/18/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate Sunday, October 18, 2026, which is a Day of Worship for many! And after a time of fellowship and a nice lunch with my family…. for some of the rest of the day, I might focus on Chocolate Cupcakes.
Yes, today is NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE DAY! Do you think you have time to prepare a batch today? For me, I allow Duncan Hines to help! And for the icing, I use some form of Buttercream for I love, love, love Buttercream Icing. In fact, I love Buttercream so much that it has become my base for at least two other icings, which go so well with Chocolate Cupcakes.
In a previous blog, I mentioned that Katherine (one of the K.’s of Tis the Season) taught me a quick way to make Chocolate Icing. You simply make basic Buttercream Icing and then add Hershey Syrup to the mixture. Depending on how much chocolate you desire, you keep adding until you accomplish the taste you prefer. This is such a cool idea; I hope you might be encouraged to try it, too. (However, since the chocolate is in liquid form, you might need to use less or no whipping cream. Experience has taught me this.) The other icing I now make from my Buttercream Icing is a Peanut Butter Version.
Ok, ok, since I have talked so much about my Buttercream Icing; yes, I will give you the recipe. It is so simple. Depending on how much icing you need, the ratio is one stick of softened butter for every two cups of confectionary sugar, a pinch of salt, one teaspoon of vanilla, and enough whipping cream to reach the consistency you desire. For the Peanut Butter Icing, you could start by adding ¼ cup of peanut butter (or less) to the buttercream and taste. Simply add more until it tastes like you desire.
What else do you desire for this day? Maybe a drive through your county to take in all the beautiful fall foliage. Yes, the leaves are starting to turn, and I am delighted when the next turn/vision displays another aspect of God’s beautiful word adorned in hues of yellow, orange, and brown.
Yes, we might need to hit the road today to take in all the splendor! All aboard!!!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

10/17/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate Saturday, October 17, 2026, where today is NATIONAL MULLIGAN DAY, NATIONAL PASTA DAY, and BLACK POETRY DAY.
We can all use Mulligan Day for some aspects of our lives. A mulligan is a second chance to perform an action, usually after the first chance went wrong (maybe several went wrong). It is a term especially used in golf and means that a player gets a second chance to perform a specific move or action. We, that are not in the golfing world, though, like the idea of second changes, too, right?
What else do you find encouraging about today’s celebrations? I am an ardent fan of POETRY, and I am especially fond of some Black poets such as Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou. In fact, every year when Black Poetry Day rolls around, I immediately start quoting Langston Hughes’ MOTHER TO SON. In this poem, I can just hear a mother talking very directly (but lovingly) to her son and educating him in the fact that life “ain’t been no crystal stairs.” Spoken just like a mother, right?
Pasta Day excites me too, how about you? In fact, the month of October celebrates several foods that get my attention. October is NATIONAL CHILI MONTH, NATIONAL COOKIE MONTH, and NATIONAL PIZZA MONTH. October, you ROCK!!!
In my neck of the woods, I must say that Chili Month might just be perfect today and tomorrow, where presently the temperature is 47, and tonight some counties in Kentucky are looking at a predicted freeze. The rest of us might certainly be looking at a frost tonight. Yes, it appears that I need to pick my remaining tomatoes and bring in some flowers. Yes, start practicing your chili recipes for the COLD IS COMING.
However, the colder temperatures might just help our trees start to work their color phenomenon. In fact, in my region of the world, the trees are starting to put on some color. I hope this year’s Fall Display is truly going to be a work of heavenly art!! Thank you, God; Kentucky is starting to put on her Fall Wardrobe, and I am looking forward to a fine fashion show!!
Let’s hit the runway……the highways and byways of our spectacular state!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

10/16/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate Friday, October 16, 2026, which is NATIONAL DICTIONARY DAY and NATIONAL LEARN A WORD DAY.
So, let’s first talk about National Dictionary Day. We celebrate Dictionary Day because today is the Father of the American Dictionary, Noah Webster’s birthday (October 16, 1758). It also seems like a perfect time to celebrate National Learn a Word Day, too, don’t you think?
Have you often thought you would like to learn an unfamiliar word each day? Well, today is inviting you to do just that. You can do that on your own, but there are apps and internet sources that would like to provide you with some assistance. Just google it and you will see several options such as Word of the Day.
Or you could start by learning some big words…. maybe like the biggest word in the English language. According to the internet that would be Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. This 45-letter word is “a lung disease caused by inhalation of very fine silicate or quartz dust”.
But wait, if you want to be extremely studious today, there are longer words that exist (they are just not in your average dictionary). According to the internet, there is a word that is 189,819 letters and takes 3 hours to pronounce. So, I am not about to type it for you, for it would take me over 3 hours to type it, too. So….
With that being said, here is to a Friday for the books (books with exceedingly long words). A fun, interesting, as well as inspirational read especially for the chapter labeled October 16, 2026. Happy writing/living.
Until we meet again. See you, bye!
Information for this blog came from Checkiday, The Berlitz Website, and The Merriam-Webster Website.

10/15/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate Thursday, October 15, 2026, where today is NATIONAL I LOVE LUCY DAY, NATIONAL GROUCH DAY, NATIONAL CHICKEN CACCIATORE DAY, SEWING LOVERS DAY, and NATIONAL LEMON BAR DAY.
First, for folks that love sewing, they might just celebrate Sewing Lovers Day every day. However, sometimes life’s responsibilities take us away from the things we love. If that is the case, Sewing Lovers, do you want to take a stand today and get back to your love of sewing?
Speaking of LOVE, do you just love, love the I LOVE LUCY show? OR… are you more of a Grouch fan? Does your personality sometimes border on the Grouch side, and you relate well to him? What’s that…you are certainly not the Resident Grouch in your family, but you do have one that shares your same address! Whoever (in your world) fits the Grouch persona, you are encouraged to celebrate them today.
Even the grouches will enjoy some Chicken Cacciatore! What is that…. you have never made/enjoyed Chicken Cacciatore? Has it seemed too fancy or too foreign to you? Well, with this dish, it could not be more different. This dish, which emerged during the Renaissance period, was certainly a dish of the common people. Cacciatore simply means “hunter-style.” So, whatever the hunter could find…that went into the dish. However, through the years, chicken became the source of poultry that most often found its way into the cacciatore dish.
OK! Have I gotten your attention? Do any of these celebrations appeal to you? Wait, we can’t forget the Lemon Bars! I have been told that they are quite easy to make. Are you game?
Ok, let the baking begin!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.

10/14/2026

Tis the Season to celebrate Wednesday, October 14, 2026, where today is NATIONAL BE BALD AND BE FREE DAY and NATIONAL DESSERT DAY.
Oh! My! Can you think of a better way to celebrate any day than to celebrate with desserts on National Dessert Day? Such a celebration falls just below Christmas, Thanksgiving, and one’s birthday. Really, a day to celebrate whatever dessert pleases your fancy the most!! But why limit it to one dessert…. why not have a dessert buffet? Really, this is such an important day that I feel that you should mark it on your calendar for next year. Days such as this truly deserve respect…. a Dessert Buffet Party, maybe!! Or have your Dessert Buffet Party later this month, for October is NATIONAL DESSERT MONTH! See, you still have time to honor this delicious celebration.
However, for today, though, if you find yourself in the presence of a Bald Individual how about giving a shout-out to them, as well? Yes, for Be Bald and Be Free Day, do you have some people to celebrate today? We all know some famous people that have decided to be Beautiful and Bald (Michael Jordon, Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Samuel Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Jim Cantore, etc., etc.), but do you know any Beautiful Bald Individuals personally? Do you know some that have gone this route for they have discovered that it is truly a FREEDOM…freedom from bed-hair, freedom from an unruly hair day, freedom from excessive trips to their hair stylist, freedom from going grey, etc., etc.? Or do you know someone that has gone this route due to a medical condition? Whatever the reason… can we find a way to celebrate their BEAUTY, BALDNESS, and FREEDOM.
Whatever you choose today…. beauty and boldness in going bald…. or not, please choose to make the most of this day. Be Bold in making this day special for people you meet today including yourself. Remember…it is the only October 14, 2026, that you will ever experience; please, do not waste this experience.
Yes, let all the specialness of this Wednesday begin!
Until we meet again. See you, bye.
