Celebrate Around The Calendar

<I>Celebrate Around The Calendar</I> is a must for every household. Its main attraction may be the journal portion for recording personal information such as birthdays anniversaries milestones other lifecycle events as well as interesting accomplishments to be passed down through future generations. Holidays are part of the history segment and coincides with the recipe that is geared to that day's event or location. Scattered throughout the 366 days are 192 countries representing a large part of our world. The event selected to represent each day is connected to the Gregorian calendar and is therefore repeated each and every year on the same date. Holidays that fall according to the Lunar calendar may change the day each year and are therefore purposely omitted from the book.<P>A calendar that teaches world history and culture by providing a nice bite size lesson for every day of the year is an inspired idea. The addition of recipes from each country means that you'll not only get smarter you'll also get hungry. I can hardly wait to try them. -Daniel M.
