December 25, 2021 - Christmas Day | A'phabet Day Or No "L" Day

Welcome to December 25, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate the windy road of Christmas and the most punderful time of the year. 
While Christmas enjoys popularity throughout the world today, its traditions have fluctuated widely. In medieval times, the birth of Jesus Christ was a solemn observance with very little feasting or singing. The Renaissance gave rise to the gift giving, decorating and caroling we enjoy today. The traditions of tree trimming and mistletoe came from the ancient celebration of Yule, which was adopted into Roman customs along with Christianity. For this reason, early puritans banned Christmas for nearly 20 years in America. The true spirit of this holiday is alive today because of our universal love for celebration. No matter how you keep this tradition, today we wish all you a very merry Christmas. 
Marlo: It’s also A’phabet Day!
Anna: You mean “Alphabet”.
Marlo: No. A’phabet. It’s the word “alphabet,” but with no L. Get it? Noel. Like Christmas.
Anna: That’s right it’s bad pun day isn’t it? I remember this from last year.
Marlo: Yep. Today, while you’re enjoying the festivities, see how many puns you can slip into conversations.
Anna: I wish I could just enjoy the day without puns.
Marlo: Is that why you have resting Grinch Face?
Anna: Hey!
Marlo: Yule be sorry if you don’t attend my Christmas party this year.
Anna: You’re being a jerk, Marlo.
Marlo: It takes one to snow one.
Anna: But wait there’s myrrh.
