I hang my head in shame

Today was National Donut Day in America. National Donut Day.  A day to celebrate donuts.  70th year of celebrating it....

And I had no idea.  None.  Whatsoever.  I'm so ashamed.

I hereby declare that tomorrow is also National Donut Day. As Phoenix64 pointed out, the Brits get an entire week. We should too!

I like the way you two think!!! that sounds like an excellent idea!

At least you found out before the day was over.

But, sadly, after all the stores are closed. I think a trip to the bakery is in order for tomorrow!

I'm going to tell you what my mother told me when I asked her why, if there was a Mother's Day and Father's Day, there wasn't a Children's Day. She said (predictably) that every day was Children's Day. With you, every day is Donut Day, so...you don't need to celebrate on the day. You celebrate the glory of donuts every day. *nods*

You must now appease the gods of doughnuts before they come after you!

Reminds me that I forgot that my birthday was both National Towel Day (H2G2) and Lilac Day (Discworld). Next year I'm going to get a lilac towel to take into work, after all I'm a hoopy frood who always knows where my towel is...

Oh and Happy Donut Days! I don't have a donut icon, but this is my equivalent. *g*

This is hilarious, because I had this EXACT conversation with my parents when I was a kid, and now I've had it with my own kids.

Mine haven't brought it up, I have this secret desire to be evil and say "Oh, it was (three weeks ago) did you miss it somehow?"

*munches* The kids and I went out on a donut run (well, walk) this morning. Donuts+ exercise. I figured the exercise was as good a penance as any for being so foolish

*looks around nervously* We went and got donuts first thing this morning, do you think that'll work?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

There is! Isn't that awesome?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oooh a lilac towel (or a towel with lilac designs on it) that would work!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

It is awesometastic!

Such an important foodstuff deserves its own day. But then again, so does chocolate, and ice cream and coffee and ....

[chatona.livejournal.com]

... What about peppermint tea? I like peppermint tea!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hmmm... not sure it deserves it's own day though- what about tea in general?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

... agreed. but strawberries get their own day! as do rasberries. please?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Ooh "Very Merry Berry Day!" What do you think?

[chatona.livejournal.com]

That's good, yeah.

... What about other food? Steak? Apples? Pie? Milkshakes? There could be a Fruity Friday!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hmmm, if we keep this up there'll be something to celebrate every day of the year

although, come to think of it, that wouldn't be such a bad thing....

There's nothing wrong with celebrating every day of the year. On the other hand, the celebration might lose it's status of being something special. That would be sad.
