4. Don't skip breakfast this morning, because it's National Bagel Day!
Millions of bagels are eaten each year in America. According to Thomas' Bagel, the most popular flavors are plain, everything, blueberry and cinnamon, and cinnamon raisin.
The flavors don't stop there, popular toppings are cream cheese, butter, jellies, meat, eggs, cheese, and more.
Be sure to stop by your local bagel shop or supermarket to celebrate.
5. As the generations in America change, one noticeable trend is developing in the gap between previous Baby Boomers and Millennials, the abandonment of a long-standing tradition.
Millennials seem to no longer be interested in collecting family china, handed down over the generations.
Keeping grandmother's china doesn't mean what it used to mean.
Also Millennials don't want formal dinners anymore, they move more often, china feels outdated for them, and it takes more care to maintain.
