I almost missed Jan 31 because of the new month, so I thought I'd re-copy it here. Thanks, Louise!

��Here’s a bit of blog-trivia for you..

��As BJ guessed, the first month of the year has the highest number of family celebrations at 22.��

��The months of April, August and November are all tied for second place at 20 celebrations each.��

����Fittingly enough, December closes out the year with the lowest count of 9.��

��The whole year boasts 192 family celebrations������������. Watch for 13 of them in February.��

Cheers!����

I knew Lucy would know which month had the most family birthdays. But I wasn't expecting the added bonus of other birthday trivia. Thanks Lucy.

๐Ÿ™‹‍♀️Hi Edward!
Thanks for pointing out that we get an extra day to enjoy this February๐Ÿ—“. We intend to do exactly that on the 29th of this ‘leap month’.๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿฝ‍♂️

๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿผ‍๐Ÿ’ปA number of sources are also reminding us that this particular date in February is a numerical palindrome - 02/02 2020 - it reads the same forwards and backwards‼️. Apparently that does not happen very often; (we are content to take the word of the experts on that).๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿป‍๐ŸŽ“

๐Ÿฆ”This is also Groundhog Day and word has it that Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow when he emerged from his burrow this morning๐ŸŒž. So, we can expect an early spring๐ŸŒฑ. At least the odds are even on that playful prediction๐ŸŽฒ.

๐Ÿคน‍♂️Are we having fun yet?

LOL, Louise and David๐Ÿ’•

๐Ÿ™‹‍♀️Hi Christine,
Thanks for transferring over the blog-trivia that I posted on January 31.๐Ÿ–Œ In doing so, you’ve discovered that the stickers I attach to the text ๐Ÿคช do not fare very well in such an exchange⁉️. Instead, a question mark appears where an emoji used to be.❓ I discovered the same problem when I tried to preview an entry before posting it.๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐Ÿ’ป Now, I preview the text๐Ÿ‘€ before adding the stickers ✍๐Ÿป and pressing the ‘publish’ button๐Ÿ”˜. Even then, some stickers don’t make it.๐Ÿฅบ

๐Ÿ“คAnyway, the fun facts have made their way into February’s strand, thanks to you.๐Ÿค™

๐Ÿ˜Love you lots, Louise
