Jan 30th - Tu Bishvat
The days celebrated here at Jackson Celebrates tend toward the 'noun day' style of celebration, today however, on this, January 30th, just one day off completing a full month, we celebrate Tu Bishvat a Jewish holiday celebrating 'The New Year of Trees' one of four new years mentioned in the Mishnah, a sort of Oral Torah.
After doing a little research I discovered that Tu Bishvat is generally celebrated with the Tu Bishvat Seder, a large feast compromising of fruit and nuts. I obviously couldn't organize a feast, so instead I decided I would try and eat as much fruit as possible over the day. Here is a list of every piece of fruit I have eaten
I feel so full of fruit that constipation seems massively unlikely in the near future.
Happy Tu Bishvat.
*as you may have guessed I got it wrong and tomorrow is in fact *Inspire Your Heart with Art Day'*
