It’s Wednesday, January 6th, 2021
(W1/D6)
Today is:
Cuddle Up Day - Falling on this date because it’s often one of the coldest in the Great White North, the benefits of Cuddle Up Day are global. Cuddling releases oxytocin. This hormone alone has huge health benefits. Besides giving us warm and fuzzy feelings, oxytocin reduces pain, helps reduce heart disease, reduces blood pressure, stress, and anxiety.
Shortbread Day - a day dedicated to making, baking, eating and sharing shortbread? Sign me up! It’s been almost 275 years since Mrs McLintock wrote the first shortbread recipe down. Since then, the perfect blend of flour, sugar and butter has remained pretty much unchanged.
Grab your aprons and whisks, bake up a storm, and then spend the rest of it cuddling up with family, friends and fur-babies. And have a happy, happy day!
