Canadian Breath Day
It is good to be aware of cultural celebrations ahead of time, is it not?
I just wanted to mention the upcoming Canadian Breath Day from our neighbors to the north.
Their annual celebration is a variation on our own Groundhog Day. Each year, Canadians step outside their homes on April 1st. Legend has it that if they do not see their breath, there will be four more weeks of winter.
Circle this one on your calendar.

I read that and thought that was the only day Canadians breathe...or they go around smelling everyone's breath on that day. If that were the case..I'm so glad I'm not Canadian. hahaha

I'll make sure I take a breath in honor of my Canadian friends. You guys deserve some recognition, after all, no other country on earth is better at being directly north of the United States!

I've lived here for almost 35 years and I've never heard this. I thought April first was just my wife's birthday. Now we have something else to celebrate!!!!!!!!

The funny (sad) thing is that we can see our breath 365 days a year in Canada, plus our breath smells all the same, caribou and seal
