September 11th: National Make Your Bed Day, National Hot Cross Bun Day, Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, and National Ants on a Log Day.

National Make Your Bed Day! According to the National Sleep Foundation, making your bed can help improve your sleep by reducing the amount of tossing, turning, and restlessness which in return, can be good for your health. A great night’s sleep can depend on the comfort you feel in your bedroom environment. At a Behavioral Sleep Medicine Program, participants learn that the sleep environment is a major component to a restful night’s sleep. In a survey conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, people who make their bed daily more often have a better night’s sleep. Fresh sheets, dark and cool rooms, and comfortable mattresses and pillows also play a factor in mastering sleep comfort.

A sweet, delicious, spiced bun has its day on National Hot Cross Bun Day. This bun is made with either currants or raisins and marked with a cross that is either made of a doughy paste that’s baked into the bun or an icing added to the top. Hot cross buns are traditionally eaten during Lent in many historically Christian countries. Lent begins the evening before Ash Wednesday through Good Friday, and the cross is a symbol of the Crucifixion. Hot Cross Bun Superstitions. English folklore – Buns baked and served on Good Friday will not spoil or mold during the subsequent year. English folklore – Buns can be used for medicinal purposes. A piece of it given to someone ill will help them recover. Sharing one with another person is supposed to ensure friendship throughout the coming year, especially if “Half for you and half for me, Between us two shall goodwill be” is said at the time. Some people believe because there is a cross on the bun, they should be kissed before being eaten. Hot cross buns are said to protect you during a sea voyage. If hung in a kitchen, they are said to protect against fires and ensure that all bread turns out perfectly. (The hanging bun is replaced each year.)

In memory of the nearly 3,000 people who were killed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, each year in the United States we observe Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance. On October 25, 2001, the U.S. House of Representatives Joint Resolution 71 was approved. Resolution 71 requested that the President designate September 11 of each year as “Patriot Day”. President George W. Bush signed the resolution into law on December 18, 2001 (as Public Law 107-89). On this day, it is asked by the President that the American flag is flown at half-staff at individual American homes, the White House and on all United States government buildings and establishments at home and abroad. The President has also asked Americans to observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 A.M.(Eastern Daylight Time), the time the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. He also strongly encourages Americans to use the Corporation for National and Community Service to find and volunteer for service opportunities. It was on September 10 of 2012 that President Obama issued a proclamation renaming the day as Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, in reference to both Public Laws 107-89 and 111-13 (the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act).

National Ants On A Log Day recognizes this iconic and healthy food snack enjoyed by millions of people across the USA and around the world. Ants on a log is a snack made by spreading peanut butter on celery and placing raisins on top. The snack name was first used in the 1950s. The typical peanut butter version of ants on a log is recommended as a healthy snack by the McKinley Health Center at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Early September is a time when kids are headed back to school and more importantly, back to studying. To keep them (and their parents) fueled with brain food is an important tool for staying focused. The designation is to celebrate and encourage healthy snacking using one of the most iconic treats that both old and new generations enjoy. Ants on a log was submitted by Duda Farm Fresh Foods and Peanut Butter & Co. in August 2014.

I had to learn to make my bed when I was a kid at home. Besides I don't like going to bed with messed up blankets. I get tangled up in them. I have never had hot crossed buns. But they look good. Thank you Patriots for your service🏅. I will take my ants🐜 on a log🌳 without the ants🐜 please. I don't care for raisins in or on anything. I prefer them all by themselves.

Sending peanutbutter hugs without ants. Don't want Bixby to think he has a new playmate.😂🛏🥐🏅🐜🌳🥜🐶💕🍂💕
