📝 National Resolution Planning Day: Setting Intentions 🚀

Today is National Resolution Planning Day, the ideal moment to pause, reflect on the past year, and set positive, achievable goals for the year ahead.

Rone Funeral Service encourages thoughtful planning and prioritizing well-being. Planning resolutions is about choosing growth, nurturing hope, and actively shaping the future you wish to see.

May your intentions for the new year be filled with promise and possibility.

“It is better to start thinking of your resolutions ahead of time rather than wait for January 1 to come around, as by then it is probably already too late to decide on them. If you plan your resolutions on December 30 then you’ll be good to go when the New Year arrives.
The ancient tradition of making resolutions for the new year started at the Babylonian festival of Akitu over 4,000 years ago. Spanning 12 days, the ‘rebirth of the natural world’ would be celebrated by the Babylonians. A new king would be crowned, crops would be planted, and promises would be made to the gods. They believed that if these promises or resolutions were kept and fulfilled, the gods would be happy instead of vengeful.
In 153 B.C., to honor the god Janus, January 1 was declared as the start of the new year by the Roman Senate. Janus was an entity with two faces who had the ability to look backward and forward in time — this symbolized the end of one year and the beginning of another. But it wasn’t until 100 years later, in 46 B.C., that the concept of the new year being on January 1 was made official and effective by Julius Caesar. Just like the Babylonians, the Romans would pledge promises to their god Janus about their behavior for the coming year.
During the Middle Ages, the ‘Peacock Vow’ would be renewed at the end of each year. Essentially, these were resolutions that knights committed to in order to uphold the code of knighthood. Knights would place their hands on a cooked peacock and renew their oaths to protecting honor and chivalry.
The phrase ‘new year resolution’ appeared for the first time in a Boston newspaper in 1813, and from there onwards, modern resolutions became a thing.”

🥓 Happy National Bacon Day! 😋

There are few aromas as universally loved as the sizzle of bacon! Today, we celebrate National Bacon Day and the delicious, savory pleasure it brings to breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Taking a moment to enjoy these simple, comforting culinary experiences is an important way to savor life's moments.

Rone Funeral Service encourages everyone to indulge a little today and enjoy a crispy, flavorful treat!

“Gather-round the frying pan everybody because National Bacon Day is December 30 and it’s enough to make any bacon-lover squeal. Just saying the word makes us hungry. It’s an incredibly versatile food. You can eat it on a burger if you’re ready for a major calorie-fest. Or, you can crumble it over a salad if you’re trying to be kind of healthy (but let’s be honest, nothing is healthy with bacon on it). You can even make it the star of the show by simply pairing it with eggs. No matter what you do, bacon is greasy, delicious, and the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen strip. If you, too, want to climb a tall building and scream at the top of your lungs, “I love bacon,” then please join us in celebrating National Bacon Day on December 30.”

⏳ Tick Tock Day: Time to Reflect! 🗓️

Rone Funeral Service recognizes that the year is rapidly coming to a close. Today is "Tick Tock Day"—a nudge to complete those last few goals, send those final greetings, or simply take a moment to reflect on the past twelve months.

This is a good time to appreciate the journey, the growth, and the precious moments that defined your year.

We encourage everyone to finish the year strong, prioritize peace, and prepare for a hopeful start to the new year.

“Tick Tock Day is celebrated on December 29 every year. This day serves as a reminder that the year is coming to an end, so get around to finishing pending tasks on your to-do list! With the holiday season beginning in November, it is only natural that life becomes super busy and a lot of work gets pushed aside for later. Maybe you’ve wanted to clean up your home, or you’ve got to figure out your plans for New Year’s Day. Whatever the task, Tick Tock Day is a reminder that there are only two more days left of the year and you’d better get around to finishing the tasks you need to.”

Pledge of Allegiance Day: Remembering Our Values 🗽

Today, we observe Pledge of Allegiance Day, commemorating the moment the Pledge was formally adopted. It serves as a reminder of the unifying principles and freedoms that define our nation.

Reciting the Pledge is an affirmation of commitment to liberty, justice, and shared civic responsibility. Rone Funeral Service encourages all members of our community to reflect on the importance of these ideals and the unity they represent.

We honor the foundational values of our country.

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
As we recite these words, let's remember the ideals they uphold and the sacrifices made to protect them. Let's stand together, proud and united, in our love for this great country.
“Pledge of Allegiance Day on December 28th commemorates the date Congress adopted the "The Pledge" into the United States Flag Code
Congress formally gave recognition for the Pledge of Allegiance on December 28, 1945. Francis Bellamy receives credit for writing the Pledge of Allegiance. The Youth's Companion, a magazine for young people, first published it anonymously on September 8, 1892, under the title "The Pledge." It was written in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the discovery of America.
In 1923 and 1924, the National Flag Conference inserted text of the pledge into legislation. Though modifications were made, the pledge remained nearly the same. At the same time, the conference didn't designate it as the official pledge. In its original form, it read:
“I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
The small changes resulted in this version:
“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
On Flag Day in 1954, Congress added the words “under God” in response to the anti-Communist opinion sweeping the country during the Cold War.”

📞 National Call a Friend Day: Nurturing Connection 🤝

Rone Funeral Service recognizes the profound value of social connection and meaningful friendships. Today is National Call a Friend Day, a perfect opportunity to pick up the phone and reconnect with someone you care about.

A simple call can brighten someone's day, strengthen a bond, and remind us all that we are supported. These moments of simple communication are vital for our well-being.

We encourage you to make that call today—your friend will be glad you did!

“Christmas is over and New Year’s is on its way. But in the meantime, December 28 is National Call a Friend Day! Between the stress of the daily grind at work, the needs of your family, and ensuring you have a little time for yourself, our liveCs can get awfully hectic. National Call a Friend Day reminds us all to take a few minutes, pick up the phone, and call that friend you’ve been meaning to get back in touch with. In modern times, technology has the capacity to unite us more than ever before. The internet isn’t fazed by distance, time zones, or how much money you have in the bank. But in our day to day lives of whizzing from one task to the next (or even multi-tasking on all our projects at once), technology often has the opposite effect. Checking emails, answering texts, responding to Facebook notifications, and other tech-based tasks can fill up our lives and actually make us feel less connected to the people we’re spending all our time connecting with! So with the holiday season rapidly drawing to a close this year, make an effort on December 28 to reach out with a phone call and connect, voice to voice, with a good friend.”

🕊️ Holy Innocents' Day: A Day of Remembrance 🕯️

Today is Holy Innocents' Day, a solemn observance in the Christian tradition dedicated to the memory of the children who lost their lives.

This day serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and calls upon us to uphold the dignity and sanctity of every child. Rone Funeral Service joins our community in a time for deep reflection and compassion for all children lost too soon.

We keep those grieving in our thoughts and prayers today.

“Holy Innocents Day, also known as the Feast of the Holy Innocents, is commemorated on December 28 every year. On this day, the Catholic Church honors the first martyrs. These were the children of Israel killed by King Herod in his quest to find baby Jesus. This day is also known as Childermas. According to the Bible, Herod was afraid of the prophesied King of Jews and was angry that he hadn’t heard from the Magi who had come to him initially seeking a newborn king. Furious that Jesus had escaped, Herod ordered the killing of all baby boys under the age of two in Bethlehem and the surrounding areas, hoping to kill Jesus.”

🦁 Happy Visit the Zoo Day! 🐘

Rone Funeral Service encourages families to take a fun, educational outing today! Visit the Zoo Day is a great reminder of the amazing opportunity we have to observe wildlife, support conservation efforts, and spend quality time together.

Zoos offer a wonderful chance to learn about our planet's diverse creatures and create lasting memories. It is a fantastic way to connect with the natural world right in our community.

We hope you have a wild and wonderful day!

“Visit the Zoo Day is celebrated on December 27 each year. Although the origins of the day are unclear, we do know that the idea of the zoo stretches as far back as a couple of millennia. The word ‘zoo’ is, in fact, the shortest way to refer to a zoological park or garden. Zoos are typically home to a range of species and function as protective shelters for the animals housed within them.”

🕊️ St. John Day: Honoring Faith and Love 📖

Today, we observe St. John Day, celebrating the life and enduring legacy of St. John the Evangelist. As the disciple of love, his teachings emphasize compassion, fellowship, and unwavering faith.

This observance encourages us to reflect on the importance of unconditional love and dedication within our own lives and communities. The team at Rone Funeral Service sends warm wishes to all who observe this holy day.

May your faith bring you strength and peace today.

“St. John’s Day is observed every year across the world on December 27. The day is also known as the “Feast of St. John.” St. John was the author of the fourth gospel and the book of “Revelation.” He is often shown alongside other gospel writers like Matthew, Mark, and Luke or sitting at the foot of the cross opposite Mary. The saint is represented by the eagle. He was also the subject of several Catholic narratives, like Giotto’s frescoes in the Peruzzi Chapel at Santa Croce in Florence and Filippino Lippi. He is an important figure in Roman Catholicism.”
