Meanwhile how can one read of a Winter Olympics anniversary and not want to watch Will Ferrell and Jon Heder in Blades of Glory? What's that, you can? Not me. Even if it is for the 85th time.

I had heard of clean off your desk day but not the others. I can see some of the guys in my adult intermediate class taking advantage though of national hugging day to get closer to some of their female classmates. Could get a little too personal(ised)? :-) Thanks Leo. I had heard of clean off your desk day but not the others.

I thought about the braille and I am teaching a lesson on Tuesday about it. Funny they have a 'compliment day', eh? Other topics you could include are: *"Clean off your desk day" (jan 14th) http://blog.salesopedia.com/?p=479 - excellent for messy people just like me. * "National hugging day" (jan 21st) http://www.holidayinsights.com/other/huggingday.htm - want another excuse to hug somebody you like? and believe it or not * national handwriting day (jan 23rd) http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/January/handwritingday.htm It's crazy how they have a holiday for almost everything nowadays. Cheers Great Ideas and topics, Lindsay!
