Besides it being 2-2-22 (which is a BIG thing itself!), today is also:
The second day of Black History Month
The second day of Lunar New Year - the Year of the Tiger
Groundhog Day
James Joyce's birthday
The Feast Day of Saint Blaise
(patron saint of wool combers, wool traders,
animals, and throat illnesses)
Seems like more than enough for one day to me. 😊
