New Jersey State Board of Education approves Pagan/Wiccan holidays for the 2010-2011 school year

This morning, the New Jersey Board of Education voted to approve their list of religious holidays permitting pupil absence from school for the 2010-2011 school year. Included for the first time on this list are the eight Pagan/Wiccan holidays, or sabbats.  This marks the first time any state has approved Pagan holidays to a state calendar, and will set a precedence for other districts and states across the country.

Twenty years ago today the hubster and I went on our first date which ended at a bar called "Lacky's" drinking green beer. So every year on this date he pours me a glass of green beer and we clink glasses and kiss. Everyone say, "aaaawwwwwwww....."

Today was no exception. After I got home from work he appeared with beer, glasses, and a bottle of food coloring. *g*

Let's pretend I even like beer. Ok, let's not. But I do so ever like him.
