    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Each year on &lt;EM&gt;January 16th&lt;/EM&gt;, people across the nation recognize National Nothing Day. The observance was created as a day to provide Americans with one National Day when they can just sit without celebrating, observing or honoring anything. &lt;FONT size="1 2 3 4 5 6 7"&gt;[source: National Day Calendar]&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="https://www.nationaldaycalendar.com/national-day/national-nothing-day-january-16" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL NOTHING DAY&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="1 2 3 4 5 6 7"&gt;[source: National Day Calendar]&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;When asked, "What are your plans, today?" your response should definitely be, "Nothing." What else would your answer be on a day like today? Now that we think about it, "Nothing" works well as an answer when recognizing the day.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Q: What's for supper?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A: Nothing&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Q: What are you reading?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;A. Nothing. (Even though you're clearly reading something.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;And, on and on and on!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;So, you see, celebrating nothing really is &lt;EM&gt;something&lt;/EM&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":winking_face:"&gt;😉&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="NOTHING day ever.gif" style="width: 800px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.aarp.org/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/88487iFDCD1C63664BC5E6/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="NOTHING day ever.gif" alt="NOTHING day ever.gif" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I think I was a day early on this one.&amp;nbsp; I was going to comment on the juxtaposition of Blue Monday with MLK Day, but chose to say nothing.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
