Description:

There is a holiday for every day of the year. Since we will all be using the same holiday calendar, go to this website for the calendar month of October: http://holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/october.htm

Using this calendar, you pick 4 different holidays from the month, you choose which four, and send something to your partner that has to do with the holidays you choose. It can be a news article, craft, purchased item, etc. Try to mix it up a little. Anything that comes to mind that represents that holiday. There are so many fun holidays this month! For ex: October 11 is It's My Party Day. You could make up a party themed package, send party supplies or send me a birthday present (ha!). October 21 is Count Your Buttons Day. Maybe send some buttons for your partners favorite craft. Just please don't send moldy cheese for Moldy Cheese Day on October 9! Use your imagination! So you will send your partner a total of 4 items. After you have collected the 4 items, please send them all together to your partner by the assigned deadline of September 24. This is USA/Canada only, 1 partner, and anyone with 4.9 ratings or better, and no recent unexplainable no-sends or lateness. Newbies with a full profile are welcome. This will be fun!

Just FYI for whoever gets me as their partner, my birthday is October 6th, which is probably a Wacky, Silly and Unusual Day in itself......

p.s. Blue cheese is moldy cheese and I love blue cheese although Stilton with Apricots is my absolute favorite cheese....

p.s.s. last one I promise. October 6th is Mad Hatter Day, this may get me dunked in a teapot but Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter gives me the creeps but I love the Mad Hatter by John Tenniel, who was the original illustrator for Alice, and I love hand colored illustrations by...you....

Hi! Check out http://www.butlerwebs.com/holidays/october.htm

The site even has famous peoples b-days or days where tv shows were premiered! I just discovered that Oct. 2nd was when OJ Simpson was found innocent....! If your my partner, you may get one isotoner glove in observance of that day! Kidding And that was not to make light of the cause behind trial. But to make light of how our judicial system operates...
