Why Celebrate National Tie One On Day?
Almost all households get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursday, but the spirit of giving starts from Wednesday! Thanks to Author EllynAnne Geisel who founded the Day in 2006, Thanksgiving Eve!
The idea struck her, while she was prepping her traditional turkey dinner and suddenly remember a family in the neighborhood. The neighbor’s family had faced a recent tragedy and they would not be having Pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving.
She immediately took a loaf of bread, wrapped it in an apron, and dropped a handwritten note in its pocket.
She delivered the offering two blocks away still in the apron to get back quickly as she was half nervous how things would go on.
But her nervousness was filled with great joy when her neighbor expressed gratitude for remembering them and coming down to deliver the offering over a few kindly chat.
Walking home, she knew what had to be done. She was swept by an unexpected swell of joy and surprised how a small act of kindness could do for the giver and the receiver! She wanted to share this experience and encourage others to give from the heart and thus the Tie One On Day was born!
She took the Tie One On Day to the next level by working with entrepreneurs and national brands who also believed that change can happen only through kindness and encouraged them to arrange giveaways during November!
So this National Tie One On Day, wear an apron and bake lots of bread and other baked goods and share them with a neighbor in need! Don’t forget to slip in a kind handwritten note!
