We're almost exactly half-way through Winter. Excuse me while I do my happy dance. Ok, I'm back. That always gets my blood flowing.

Since we're half-way through Winter, the oddest of all holidays is coming up this weekend. Yep, it's that time again. Create a Vacuum Day is exactly one week from today, and I'm so excited I may just implode. According to holidayinsights.com, the history of Create a Vacuum Day have been lost to antiquity, or rather, merely forgotten. I think this is a shame. We should remember the meaning behind this illustrious holiday. We need to embrace this great holiday, and we need to celebrate this day every year. In fact, it should be a required day off for everyone.

Now, you may be asking yourself, "Don, didn't you forget about a real holiday that is coming up this weekend?". Well, first of all, I don't care much for your tone, sir.  Secondly, stop talking to yourself.  You're frightening the children.  Thirdly, yes, I could have mentioned that Candlemas is this weekend. But that's not really an obscure holiday. We all know about it. We all celebrate it. So why talk about it?
