February 1st is Ice Cream For Breakfast Day

The Ice Cream For Breakfast Day Story:
Once upon a time there was a little girl named Ruth and a  little boy named Joe.  Ruth  and Joe grew up in the back of beyond in New York state where it was very very cold.  
Every winter between New Year's Eve and Passover, life in  up-state New York got extremely boring, so their parents invented a holiday to brighten up the dreary days of winter.  
It was called Ice Cream For Breakfast Day.  This was a wonderful holiday for children and parents alike because to celebrate you had to eat ice cream for breakfast on the first Saturday in February.

Well, Ruth  and Joe grew up and went away to a university.  
They made many friends and taught them all about Ice Cream For Breakfast Day.  After college Ruth had a roomate named  Barry to whom she also told about this tradition.  Many years later, Barry met Itzah C. Kret in Washington, D.C. and converted him into an Ice Cream For Breakfast Day 
observer.  

Nobody has kept precise track but through word of mouth ICFBD has been celebrated in many homes, states and countries all over the world.  Some people give parties with musical instruments, others simply celebrate with family members.  There is no right or wrong so long as you follow
