Pizza Pies, Bathtub Reads, and Post-Super Bowl Blues: Jerry Steffen's Holiday Pop Quiz
February 9th brought three uniquely American celebrations: National Football Hangover Day (with millions expected to call in sick, especially in Seattle), National Read in the Bathtub Day for those seeking literary relaxation, and National Pizza Day honoring the Neapolitan invention that Americans have enthusiastically adopted—to the tune of an estimated 46 slices per person annually.
