January 23: National Pie Day, National Handwriting Day, and Library Shelfie Day.

🍰National Pie Day was created simply to celebrate the pie. Even more importantly, it is a day set aside for all to enjoy eating their favorite pies! The first pies appeared around 9500 BC in the Egyptian Neolithic period or New Stone Age. Fun Tidbit – Pie throwing: Cream filled or topped pies are favorite props for humor. Throwing a pie in a person’s face has been a staple of film comedy since Ben Turpin received one in Mr. Flip in 1909. National Pie Day was created by the American Pie Council. The American Pie Celebration began in 1986 to commemorate Crisco’s 75th anniversary of “serving foods to families everywhere”.

📝National Handwriting Day was started to re-introduce one’s self to a pen or pencil and a piece of paper. According to the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association, it is a chance for all to re-explore the purity and power of handwriting. National Handwriting Day was established by the Writing Instrument Manufacturers Association in 1977. Their motive is to promote the consumption of pens, pencils and writing paper. January 23rd was chosen as this is the birthday of John Hancock. John Hancock was the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence.

👀Library Shelfie Day! Some collectors of books tend to arrange their collections so their spines can be admired pleasantly. Others have a system of organization that results in an alternative art form. However our books are organized on the shelf, on Library Shelfie Day, they are meant to be photographed and shared on social media. The New York Public Library founded Library Shelfie Day as a way to observe various national holidays by displaying shelfies representing books from each day.

Pie day! 🍎🍏Yum! My handwriting (lol) now a days, let's just say, thank goodness for a keyboard. My collection of books are on my e-book, I think taking a shelfie would not be possible.

Thanks Aunty on what Quark is. I have had goat cheese. It's quite good. My hubby has a brother-in-law that raises goats.

Me thinks MD doesn't care for chocolate😂! I'll share yours with the others, maybe😋!😂
