Today is Purim Katan, literally, "Little Purim." It is a very minor holiday that occurs only in seven of every nineteen years (during a Hebrew Calendar "leap year" when the month of Adar is repeated). There are no mitzvot associated with this day, only the suggestion that one should be happy. That is my kind of a holiday.
A month from today, we will be celebrating the full holiday of Purim in the second of this year's two Adars. On that day, we will read the story of Esther, deliver portions of food to our neighbors and make gifts to the poor. (Okay, that's my kind of holiday, too).
In celebration of Purim Katan, write a comment for this post of no more than five words that gives a reason why you are happy today.
