Holiday o' the day - er, month: hot tea and soup!
Tuesday, 6 January 2015 04:40 amMERRY CHRISTMAS! In Armenia, at least.
Here in the West, it's Epiphany/Twelfth Night/Three Kings Day, celebrating the day the three wise men visited the newborn Jesus, the official final night of Christmas celebrations, the night on which some poor sod got a drumline as a present, and the start of Carnival.
Or as most people call it, "What?" The times, oh, how they change.
So I'll embrace a couple of holidays that are closer to home for me: the coldest month of the year is also - what a coincidence! - National Hot Tea Month and National Soup Month.
