Daily Holidays - January 13

National Peach Melba Day The classic dessert Peach Melba was created for and named after the very slim opera singer Nellie Melba. Here’s some food trivia: when Nellie gained weight later in life, the same chef that created Peach Melba created a thin, low-calorie toast for her breakfast – enter Melba Toast! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/peach-melba-day/

National Sticker Day is observed annually on January 13. This is a day to celebrate all things stickers, from the custom printing of them to sharing stickers. Every sticker has a story. http://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/latest-posts/

Rubber Duckie Day Start running the bath, it’s Rubber Duckie Day! Celebrate by taking a rubber duck (or taking a whole load of rubber ducks) in the bath and acting out small, theatrical scenes of your choosing. Why not try Macbeth, or your favourite opera? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/rubber-duckie-day/

Kaitlin: "Who did Ducky look like when he was young?"

It rips off lines, situations, and characters from classic movies and television all the time.

For some reason, it doesn't bother me much.
