IN 2010 ICE CREAM FOR BREAKFAST DAY IS
FEBRUARY 6 ! (Don't let it sneak up on you)
(~~~The Lists are near the bottom~~~)

The Ice Cream For Breakfast Day Story:

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Ruth and a
little boy named Joe. Ruth and Joe grew up in the back of
beyond in New York state where it was very very cold.
Every winter between New Year's Eve and Passover, life in
up-state New York got extremely boring, so their parents
invented a holiday to brighten up the dreary days of winter.
It was called Ice Cream For Breakfast Day. This was a
wonderful holiday for children and parents alike because to
celebrate you had to eat ice cream for breakfast on the
first Saturday in February.

Well, Ruth and Joe grew up and went away to a university.
They made many friends and taught them all about Ice Cream
For Breakfast Day. After college Ruth had a roomate named
Barry to whom she also told about this tradition. Many
years later, Barry met Itzah C. Kret in Washington, D.C. and
converted him into an Ice Cream For Breakfast Day
observer.

Nobody has kept precise track but through word of mouth
ICFBD has been celebrated in many homes, states and
countries all over the world. Some people give parties with
musical instruments, others simply celebrate with family
members. There is no right or wrong so long as you follow
the 3 plus 1 simple Ice Cream for Breakfast Day Rules

(1) Eat ice cream
(2) for breakfast
(3) on the first Saturday in February

(4) spread the word

The rest is up to you!

WORDS OF WISDOM FORWARDED FROM A
SOURCE @ MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY

"My advice to you is not to inquire why or wither
but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your
plate--that's my philosophy."
---Thornton Wilder

"A little ice cream, tumbled about, anon, becomes
a mountain."
--paraphrased from King John, by Shakespeare
