SUMMARY:National Hot Buttered Rum Day
DESCRIPTION:It’s hot. It’s buttered. It’s hot buttered rum! Haven’t had it? No worries. January 17 is National Hot Buttered Rum Day and it’s the perfect opportunity to give it a try. Hot buttered rum is a mixed drink containing rum\, butter\, hot water or cider\, sweetener\, and spices such as cinnamon\, nutmeg\, and cloves. It dates back to colonial America\, but likely originates from Europe. It’s most often enjoyed in the fall and winter\, when it’s cold and cozy and has been described as “comfort food in a mug”. Craving a warm mug of it already? We are too.

Others were worn for ceremonial or religious reasons. Some hats just make us look good or cover up what we think doesn’t. Through the centuries\, we’ve given our hats a lot of meaning. \n\nIn the Middle Ages\, hats indicated social status.\nIn the military\, hats may denote one’s nationality\, branch of service\, rank\, and/or regiment.\nA Thebes tomb painting depicts one of the first pictorials of a hat.  The painting shows a man wearing a conical straw hat.\nStructured hats for women began to be worn in the late 16th century.\nMillinery is the designing and manufacture of hats.\nThe term “milliner” is derived from the city of Milan\, Italy. The best quality hats were made in Milan in the 18th century.\nMillinery traditionally began as a woman’s occupation\, as the milliner created hats and bonnets and chose lace\, trim\, and accessories to complete any outfit.\nIn the mid-1920s\, to replace the bonnets and wide-brimmed hats\, women began to wear smaller hats that hugged their heads.\n\nDepending on where you live\, if you are outside in the middle of a cold January\, you may definitely want to wear a hat on National Hat Day! \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL HAT DAY\nWear your favorite hat on National Hat Day.

SUMMARY:National Bagel Day
DESCRIPTION:Toast up your favorite flavor on National Bagel Day. On January 15th\, don’t forget to pick your favorite schmear\, too. Make it for breakfast\, lunch\, snack\, or all of the above! \n\n\n\n#NationalBagelDay\n\n\n\nThis kosher carbohydrate brings complex flavors to the deli and sandwich bar. In the United States\, we love our crunch-on-the-outside-chewy-on-the-inside bread. So they’re a staple in our freezers and as a winter pick-me-up. \n\n\n \nBagel History\nPolish-Jewish immigrants introduced the bagel to the United States. Throughout New York City and the surrounding boroughs\, they grew thriving businesses. Of course\, it didn’t take long for the bakers to organize. In 1907\, they created the International Beigel Bakers’ Union. For decades\, Bagel Bakers Local 338 held contracts with nearly all bagel bakeries for its workers in and around the city. \nUntil the 1960s\, bakeries made bagels by hand. Then Daniel Thompson invented the bagel maker\, and along came a heated debate of man versus the machine. Thereafter\, the question of the better bagel dangled before customers. Was it the handcrafted beigel or the manufactured bagel? \nThe bagel became more common throughout North America during the last quarter of the 20th century. Credit for the bagel’s spread across the country goes in part to the efforts of bagel baker Harry Lender\, his son\, Murray Lender\, and Florence Sender. Their pioneering efforts led to the automated production and distribution of frozen bagels in the 1960s. Murray also invented pre-slicing the bagel. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL BAGEL DAY\nHave your favorite bagel combinations. Invite friends to get a schmear or two with you. Try new combinations. Do you like yours toasted or not? Breakfast bagels\, pizza bagels\, cinnamon bagels\, they all sound so delicious right now. Which one will you choose? \nBrush up on the bagel’s history in the United States. It’s a vibrant and enduring one. Use #NationalBagelDay to share your favorites and give your favorite bagel shop a shoutout\, too! \nNATIONAL BAGEL DAY HISTORY\nOnce\, the bagel shared a day with lox\, but no longer. As of 2020\, the bagel branched out on its own to celebrate all kinds of bagels. \nSource Link
