Did you know National Chocolate Milkshake Day is coming up on the 12th? Or that chocolate custard gets an entire month? I didn’t either, but now we do!

I italicized the two I found most amusing: “National Chocolate Covered Anything Day?” Isn’t that called everyday?
Of course, chocolate is also used to help celebrate more widely known holidays:
~ Chocolate and Holidays — A Long History
~ History of Chocolate Easter Confection
~ Chocolate and Valentine’s Day
who is this according to? And when was it decided? It seems National Chocolate Ice Cream day should be in July, as that is National Ice Cream month (thanks Reagan)
Yummy…but I think there MUST be more..
Well, that is pretty cool — to gather all the holidays together. Who knew. Do you celebrate all of them? And also did you get a new banner? It looks different. Am I just nuts?
6th Floor – I’m not actually sure! I did a search for chocolate holidays and pulled up a generic list. I don’t know “official” they are but any excuse to celebrate chocolate is ok in my book!
Marye – I agree. I think we should make some of our own.
Jennifer – No, no real celebrating – I didn’t even know they existed until last week (although everything seems to have a holiday nowadays so I should have known better, haha!) And yes, new banner! Yay!
hmm yummy, yummy I celebrate it every day because I am addicted to chocolate….
