A Very Merry Unbirthday

Wonderland

We heart it

Today is Lewis Carroll, birth name Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, Birthday [& everyone else's Unbirthday]. He was born this day in Daresbury in Cheshire, England in the year 1832.

Most people know him as the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. He was also a "philosopher, mathematician, logician, reverend of the Anglican order, and photographer." More facts at the link.

So in honor of this handsome man, have a day [or week or lifetime!!] of wonderment! Explore your imagination & leave the normalcy of life behind, if you haven't already :). Dress up, even though its a Tuesday/workday/school day have fun! Eat cupcakes, get stuck in teatime & enjoy a few cups, tell your friends riddles even you can't solve, fall down the rabbit hole, & if you have a friend who is too afraid to help them out & pull them down with you. They'll thank you later for opening them up to a new world.

If it is more convenient, have a mad tea party this weekend with close friends & dress up as your favorite character. Extra fun if you all get out of the house dressed up to hang out & spread the magic.

For help & ideas, Gala Darling tells how to throw a tea party.

Have a wonderful day, Dears!

xoxo
