Holidays 2021-03-13
Holidays today cover subjects like Good Samaritans, opening an umbrella indoors, Ken dolls, fanny packs, coconut torte, ear muffs, jewelry, Donald Duck, and dogs used by the military and law enforcement: Coconut Torte Day Donald Duck Day Ear Muff Day Good Samaritan Involvement Day International Fanny Pack Day Jewel Day K-9 Veterans Day Ken Day National Open an Umbrella Indoors Day Superstition dictates that opening a umbrella indoors is bad luck. On the 13th of March, we're supposed to defy this superstition. Ear muffs (or earmuffs) were invented on this date in 1873. Reading about Ken dolls, I was surprised to learn that Ken has a rival for Barbie's affection named Blaine . Today is theoretically the date Donald Duck hatched in 1914.
