Dec 9th: Spit Happens

December 9th is National Llama Day!  What better way to learn more about these wonderful creatures than to spend time with a llama farmer?  Hear some fun llama facts and touching stories from Donna Justice of the Ellaberry Llama Farm.  Make time to explore the richness that occurred on this day in history: 

• The “birth” of an American Pie (so to speak),
• A possible UFO sighting (or not?!?!), and then
• Let’s celebrate National Llama Day with Donna Justice.   

If it's a special day for you or for someone you care about, make time to learn a little more about today by listening to some fun, engaging stories.  AND, if you need some great gift ideas, we have those too (along with links to where you can find them on Amazon).

I mentioned two fun places to visit in this episode, here they are (these links worked in late 2023 - not sure how long they will remain available):

• Find out more about Ellaberry Llama Farms - and even book a visit
• Find out more about the UFO Store in Kecksburg - and plan a trip to visit

Gift ideas for folks who celebrate December 9th for any reason:

• Domino’s Pizza has gift cards available, so you can share a pizza and the story behind it!  And remember that spoodle I mentioned?  Or the Noid himself would be a funny little gift!
• A book about the Kecksburg UFO could be an interesting read?  Not the reading type?  Perhaps a UFO t-shirt would fit better!
• Llama Day provides a world of opportunity for gift ideas.  From stuffed animal llamas to llama pj’s.  There’s also llama socks and shirts and llama jewelry.  The world is your llama!
• December 9th is Gingerbread Decorating Day - and it’s the perfect time of the year to decorate gingerbread houses to display for the holidays, or any other gingerbread decor as well.
• It’s also Pastry Day.  Local pastries would be best - but if time or distance is an issue, there are delivered pastry options available.

Full disclosure:  If you use these gift idea links and make a purchase, I will make a small commission.
