National Static Electricity Day
What is Static Electricity?
Everything we see is made up of tiny little parts called atoms. The atoms are made of even smaller parts. These are called protons, electrons and neutrons. They are very different from each other in many ways. One way they are different is their "charge." Protons have a positive (+) charge. Electrons have a negative (-) charge. Neutrons have no charge.
Usually, atoms have the same number of electrons and protons. Then the atom has no charge, it is "neutral." But if you rub things together, electrons can move from one atom to another. Some atoms get extra electrons. They have a negative charge. Other atoms lose electrons. They have a positive charge. When charges are separated like this, it is called static electricity.
If two things have different charges, they attract, or pull towards each other. If two things have the same charge, they repel, or push away from each other.

So, why does your hair stand up after you take your hat off? When you pull your hat off, it rubs against your hair. Electrons move from your hair to the hat. Now each of the hairs has the same positive charge. Things with the same charge repel each other. So the hairs try to move away from each other. The farthest they can get is to stand up and away from all the other hairs.

If you walk across a carpet, electrons move from the rug to you. Now you have extra electrons. Touch a door knob and ZAP! The electrons move from you to the knob. You get a shock.

January 6th........Cuddle Up Day
When : Always January 6th
Cuddle Up Day is an opportunity to snuggle up to someone on a cold winters' day or night. Chances are it's cold outside. So, cozy up to a special someone, and enjoy the warmth and love. This day is enjoyed by both young and old.
This day is a great opportunity to:
... cuddle with your cutie
... snuggle with your sweetie
... hug your honey
Of course, you do not have to cuddle up with someone......
- Cuddling up in your easy chair is a great idea.
- Cuddling up to a pet is rewarding.
- Cuddling up to a stuffed animal is quite secure and comforting.
- Cuddling up with a good book is enjoyable.
- Cuddling up by the fireside is warm and cozy.

January 3rd..................
Fruitcake Toss Day
When : Always January 3rd
Fruitcake Toss Day is your opportunity to finally throw away the old fruitcake. After the holidays are over, it's time to bring in the new, and toss out the old. Today is the day that the fruit cake goes....hooray!
There is no one way to toss out the old fruitcake. Why not make a little fun out of it? Gather up a few friends who also are fortunate enough to have received a fruitcake for the holidays. Go out to a field and see who can toss it the farthest. Caution: do not toss the cake at anyone. This weighty steel-like mass of sugar, flour and fruits could injure someone, if they are hit by it.
New Year’s Resolutions Continued....
- BYOCB: Remember to bring your own cloth bag when you go shopping.
- BYOWB: End Your Plastic Water Bottle Habit: Kicking the plastic water bottle habit might sound like an impossible feat if you’re as addicted as the average American; last year we consumed about 50 billion plastic water bottles. Buy an eco-friendly reusable bottle, and refill it throughout the day, for free. If the water from your tap isn’t to your liking then add a filtration system.
- Use Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products: There are so many great and highly effective green products on the market now.
- End Junk Mail:
