December 28, 2022 - National Card Playing Day | National Car Donation Month

Welcome to December 28, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate the art of bluffing and kicking your clunker to the curb. The game of poker originated in Louisiana, and is believed to be a derivative of the game of dominos, which dates back a few thousand years. What’s common to both games is the art of bluffing. Even the best poker players in the world only have a 5 percent advantage over other players and thus bluffing is what makes the game more interesting. The earliest games like Texas Hold’em were played for gold nuggets and while it's hard to calculate the winnings of those hands, the most lucrative tournament in modern times paid out a whopping $18.35 million. On National Card Playing Day you may wanna bone up on the skill of bluffing. More charitable donations are made in December than in any other month. Yes, it’s probably because people need a tax deduction, but it also comes at a time of the year when some folks need help the most. There is still time to make a difference by donating an old or unused vehicle during National Car Donation Month. Most charities make the process as simple as possible and in some cases the car doesn’t even have to run. If you don’t have a car to give away, you can still help by spreading the word on social media. And if your neighbor still doesn’t take the hint, you can etch "Donate Me" in the dirt on the windshield of his old jalopy. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson.
