The snowflake is actually animated, floating down from the top of the screen.
Before I celebrate, however, I want to know if there is a special candy for it. If so, then this can join the line up as one of the lesser holy days of the Official Candy Season.
Originating as it does from the Guinness Book of World Records, I'm guessing that this is more of a Beer Season holy day.

It must be celebrated with some sort of Guinness infused chocolate then. Guinness Chocolate cake.

And (while I don't know if it was this exact recipe) the chocolate guiness cake I have tried is quite good.
Now, there is an idea!
Saw this and thought of you. (You definitely don't have to be British as this organisation is run by an American working in the UK!)
History of Women in the Americas(Call for Papers)Wed 14 March 2012, Brunel University
The Society for the History of Women in the Americas (SHAW, formerly known as British Historians of Women in the Americas) will hold their fifth annual conference on Wednesday 14th March 2012 at Brunel University, west London.
We welcome papers on any aspect of women’s and gender history in North America, South America and the Caribbean. Papers that investigate women’s lives from single or multiple vantage points whether topically or geographically are equally welcome. Scholars working on related topics are encouraged to put together a panel of two to four papers. Speakers at the event will have the opportunity to submit their paper for consideration in SHAW’s journal, History of Women in the Americas.
A 250 word abstract should be submitted to SHAW’s secretary, Dr Rachel Ritchie (rachel.ritchie@brunel.ac.uk), by Tuesday 14th February 2012. Those interested in attending the conference as a delegate are more than welcome as well and should register their interest by this date too. All other enquiries about the conference, SHAW and History of Women in the Americas, should also be directed to Dr Ritchie.
The conference fee is payable upon confirmation of your paper being accepted (or upon confirmation of your place in the case of delegates not giving papers). This will be in mid- to late-February. For non-SHAW members, the conference fee is £55 (waged) and £35 (postgraduate/undergraduate/unwaged); this includes a year’s membership of the organisation. For SHAW members, the cost is £28 (waged) and £22 (postgraduate/undergraduate/unwaged).
See, I did not even KNOW about Candy Season and Beer Season!

I'm still here. The Big Guy is taking up most of my writing mojo these days.
