All of these days come from the Ancient Egyptian

Tuesday- "Tyr's Day" or "The Day of Mars"

This is the day of the week Constantinople fell, 'Day of War' and a general feeling that it is an unlucky day because of this.

Wednesday- "Wodin's Day" (Germanic) or "Odins Day (Norse)

In Latin this was 'Mercury's Day'; all of these deities guided the dead to the underworld. In modern German; 'Mittwoch'- the middle of the week. So, a 'Day of the Dead'....

Thursday- "Thunar's Day" (Germanic for Jupiter's Day)

Emperor Constantine also forced the worship of the birth date of his god upon the Christians..... December 25th; Mithra's B'day

How was your day?

For a Monday in the retail Christmas shopping season it was pretty decent thankfully. My workday was not bad and went by pretty good. Thank God for that. In retail customers seemingly think it's their fifth amendment right to get out of the store quick with their items paid for and bagged... totally irregardless to the volume of customers in the stores in addition to the amount of manpower available at the time. Ah well. I'm trying to keep up my Christmas spirit and sing when the mood strikes me. Merry Christmas.

TGI Fridays, TGI Stands For??? ?

Thank goodness it's Friday or Thank God it's Friday, an old expression when most of the world worked Monday through Friday, day jobs, and would be thankfull it was Friday and a weekend was next up.
