Most people tend to think of the calendar year as January through December.  Around here we don’t use the standard calendar and instead our year goes something like this…

• New Year’s Day.  Say goodbye to our favorite foods.  Diet starts tomorrow
• Valentine’s Day – Chocolate season
• Girl Scout Cookie Season – speaks for itself
• Easter – Chocolate and peeps season
• Memorial Day – Cookout season starts
• July 4th – More Cookouts
• Labor Day – Cookout season ends
• Halloween – Candy season
• Thanksgiving – Stuff ourselves and then ease in to Christmas candy season
• Christmas – Christmas candy season
• New Year’s Eve – Parties and food

Then you start the year all over again.  Who needs a regular calendar?
