Daily Holidays - April 3

National Chocolate Mousse Day There is a dish that speaks of deep richness, a thick creamy substance comprised of that most decadent of flavors, chocolate. This is the day dedicated to this most delicious of desserts. This isn’t a day for delicacy though, this is the day to completely immerse yourself in this dedication to culinary debauchery. Julia Child is known as having created the perfect Chocolate Mousse, including dark-brewed coffee, butter, bittersweet chocolate, eggs, dark rum, and vanilla extract. This Chocolate Mousse day, let your creativity shine! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/chocolate-mousse-day/

Find A Rainbow Day Perhaps one of the more interesting and yet lesser-known holidays is an event that is known as Find a Rainbow Day. As you may have already guessed, this celebration occurs during the month of April each year (after all, the early spring is known for its fair share of these beautifully stunning phenomena). https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/find-a-rainbow-day/

Tweed Day There is some confusion as to what exactly Tweed Day is commemorating – is it the corrupt American Democratic boss famous for running the Tammany Hall political machine, William M “Boss” Tweed, who also ran the “Tweed Ring” which stole between $30 to $200 million through political corruption in New York, or is it the unique Scottish fabric, usually fashioned into suits, jackets and trousers in patterns such as hounds tooth and herringbone? https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/tweed-day/

World Party Day is based on the idea that peace is not the opposite of war, merely its absence. The real opposite of war is party, and World Party Day aims to synchronise a massive, world-wide party to celebrate everything that’s good and optimistic. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/world-party-day/

Lenny the Chocolate Moose

No explanation needed, really... He's all chocolate, even the pond he's standing in. Len Libby Chocolates in Scarborough, Maine needed to advertise their store and came to the logical marketing conclusion - create a life-size chocolate moose. Which happens to be the largest chocolate moose in the world.
