Why did I Not Know This?

I have the awesome ability to find out about really cool things…after they happen. Last Saturday, Dec. 3^rd, was the second annual “Take your child to a bookstore” day. Apparently, bookstores all across the United States, England, Canada, and Australia participated by having sales, cookies, story time, and giveaways. Of course, I didn’t check my email, and therefore didn’t get the announcement, until this morning, December the 5^th. *sighs* But the date is now marked in my calendar. Even though my own children are probably a bit old to celebrate with, but I do have grandchildren. And I know of a great local bookstore with a toy train running through the children’s section… What about you? Did you know this holiday existed? And if so, did you celebrate?
