Weary Willy Day, Christmas Card Day, Pastry Day, more

December 9th, 2011, is Weary Willy Day, Christmas Card Day, National Salesperson's Day, International Anti-Corruption Day, Independence Day (Tanzania), and National Pastry Day.

Weary Willy Day celebrates the clown character created by the beloved Emmett Kelly. Kelly was born on December 9th, 1898.

Christmas Card Day is, presumably, a subtle kick in the pants for those of us who haven't started working on our Christmas cards yet.

The second Friday in December is National Salesperson's Day. Do something special for the talented salesperson in your employ, or for the insightful salesperson who helped you find just the right item.

The United Nations supports International Anti-Corruption Day. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon writes, "On this International Anti-Corruption Day, let us pledge to do our part by cracking down on corruption, shaming those who practice it and endangering a culture that values ethical behaviour."

Tanzania observes Independence Day on December 9th.

National Pastry Day offers a great excuse to indulge. Enjoy your pastry sweet or savory - or both!
