CIDER MONDAY

   MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30TH.

          CIDER MONDAY

   Before you go on line to order
Christmas presents or to let me know
I've mistitled today's Blog, please
be aware that this really is "Cider
Monday."
    It was originally conceived by
some independent bookstores in
New England  as a direct and
delicious assault on the Monday
after Thanksgiving known as the
infamous "Cyber Monday."
    Participating stores offered
cups of cider to customers who
preferred a good book, or books,
to hours spent shopping on a
computer.
    Supporters of this alternative
tradition also point out that cider
comes in various forms including
a "hard variety" which can prove
to be very relaxing! Seems like a
good selling point to me!!
    It's a perfect day to participate
in Cider Monday whether it be in
a book store, the library, or your
own living room. You see November
30th is also "Stay at home because
you are well Day." Instead of
calling in sick, you're suppose to
call in well!
     Hope you get away with it and
that all your NEWS is good!
