January special days

Here we are, only 7 days into January and I've already missed out on celebrating two special days.  Last Saturday, the 5th, was 'Spaghetti Day.'  I do make really excellent spaghetti, if I do say so myself but Saturday came and went and I didn't come anywhere near spaghetti.  And last Thursday, the 3rd was 'Chocolate Covered Cherry Day.'  In my defense, I was entertaining my nephew, his wife, their four children, my son and daughter and their families, for a total of 16 people squished into my apartment, so I think it's understandable that I didn't have time to check my calendar.  I'm sorry to have missed that day though.  When my mother-in-law was alive her very favorite candy was Chocolate Covered Cherries and my husband would give her a box of them every Christmas.  Because of the sweet sentiment, not to mention the really sweet taste, I would have eaten some in honor of my mother-in-law.  I don't even know if they still make the boxes of chocolate covered cherries like they used to, but I'm pretty sure DeBrands makes their own version.  Hummm, I may need to research this.  
By the way, today is 'National Bobsled Day' but I have no urge at all to celebrate that, especially since anyone riding a bobsled around here this week would need to have one on wheels.
