Is it your birthday today? Yes? Well, um, happy birthday! If not, you're not alone. However, today is the birthday of the ultimate birthday song, the song that almost everyone in the U.S. sings for their family and friends' birthdays just before the candles get blown out. On this day in 1859, Mildred Hill composed the ditty now known as "Happy Birthday to You" and it was published in 1893 with lyrics written by Mildred's sister Patty. Although everyone sings it at private birthday parties, public performances of the song (especially in for-profit institutions) will cost you big time because the song with be copywrited by Hill Foundation for the next 18 years. And a slip up will cost you upwards of $10,000! Ridiculous, right? Here's your Holiday Hero's interpretation:
Yeah, we don't have $10k.
Now, living in New Mexico has taught us several things. One of these things is that protecting your eyes and skin from the harmful effects of the sun's rays is critical to a healthy life. So, on this Sunglasses Day, we were sure to keep our glasses handy! Hope you did too!
Mr. Wonka would be SO proud!
Finally, it is National Orange Blossom Day. I used to have tea flavored like orange blossom, but I couldn't, unfortunately, find any today. So, I will make do with this:
Yummy!
Hope your day was magnifique!
CS, out.
