Cyber Monday, Make Your Own Head Day, Red Planet Day, more

November 28th, 2011, is Cyber Monday, Make Your Own Head Day, Red Planet Day, Gone-ta-Pott Day, Ascension of Abdu'l-Baha, Independence Day (Albania), Independence Day (Mauritania), Independence Day (Panama), and National French Toast Day.

If you didn't find all of your goodies on sale on Black Friday, or if you simply chose to avoid the crowds, take advantage of Cyber Monday. Many great deals can be found online, some with free shipping, and you don't even have to get out of your jammies to participate. Cyber Monday has been celebrated since 2005.

Tired of what you see in the mirror? Feeling crafty? Then gather your supplies and celebrate Make Your Own Head Day. Go realistic or abstract. Use clay, beads, paper mache, pipe cleaners, yarn, glitter, cardboard, water bottles, computer parts, old socks, butter, whatever. Show the world the real you.

Red Planet Day honors the planet Mars, our neighbor in the solar system. On this date in 1964, Mariner 4 departed earth to cruise by Mars almost a year later. Interestingly, another man-made device is on its way to Mars as this post goes to cyberspace - the Mars Rover Curiosity launched on Novmber 26th, 2011, to search for signs of life on Mars upon arrival in August 2012. Follow @MarsCuriosity on Twitter, if you're curious.

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you know that the 28th of every month is Gone-ta-Pott Day.

Followers of the Baha'i faith observe the Ascension of Abdu'l-Baha, remembering the death of the son of Baha'u'llah.

The countries of Albania, Mauritania, and Panama celebrate Independence Day on November 28th.

National French Toast Day honors a delicious breakfast food that is neither French nor toasted. Life is funny sometimes.
