December 25
Christmas Day
Perhaps the best
Yuletide decoration
is being wreathed
in smiles.

It’s the beginning of Make Resolutions that Begin With I WILL Week over on a month full of Smiley Silliness. OK, I admit I made that one up. But I really, really believe in making resolutions, just not the ones that seem to be about: I am awful-here’s what I need to change. Instead, I resolve to spend more time with cats, to eat chocolate daily, to call my mom every morning, to say yes to time in the garden and no to housework! That’s a good start.
Today was also the day the cartoon character Dick Tracy got married back in 1950. A toast to the smiley couple! I wonder if Dick Tracy had pumpkin pie for his wedding, it is Pumpkin Day!
Do birthday peeps Humphrey Bogart (1899), Cab Calloway (1907), Sissy Spacek (1949), Jimmy Buffet (1946), Annie Lennox (1954), Rod Serling (1924), Rickey Henderson (1958, a my favorite baseball player of all time), and CCH Pounder (1952), have candles on a pumpkin pie instead of chocolate cake?
Here’s a wacky one for today that I can’t quite figure why it even exists: No “L” Day also known as A’phabet Day. Anyone know the origin?
I guess I should also mention that it’s Christmas Day, too. If you celebrate it in your home, I hope it’s the happiest one yet!
BTW, the Smileys on a month full of Smiley Silliness are all different than the ones you see in the Daily Smiley.
