October 7, 2021 — Every day has something to celebrate!

Here is what we are celebrating today:

“Pick a Tune Day” – What is your favorite song? According to the folks at the Guinness World Records, Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas” is the best-selling single song of all time. The song that stayed the longest at #1 on the Billboard Charts is “One Sweet Day” by Boyz to Men and Mariah Carey. The song was #1 for 16 straight weeks in 1995/96.  

“LED Light Day” – LED lights aren’t a new thing. They were first introduced in 1962. By the way, LED is short for Light Emitting Diode.

“Chocolate Covered Pretzel Day” – This tasty product was created in 1901 by the chocolate giant, the Hershey Company as their way to honor Philadelphia’s famous soft pretzels.  Proving again, everything tastes better with chocolate on it!
