Today, we're appreciating a household appliance that's revolutionizing cooking and celebrating a historical figure who's inspired a beloved holiday tradition. The microwave oven, a staple in most kitchens today, was actually a byproduct of radar technology developed during World War II. Percy Spencer, an engineer from Maine, discovered that microwaves could heat food when a candy bar in his pocket melted during an experiment. This led to the creation of the first microwave oven, which was initially the size of a refrigerator. Over the years, the microwave has become smaller, more efficient, and indispensable to modern life. On National Microwave Day, let's appreciate this time-saving appliance that makes cooking and reheating our meals a breeze. It's used for more than popcorn? In most homes, yes. What? In our house, it's the largest popcorn popper in the world. It also melts butter, I found out. Now, let's step back in time to celebrate St. Nicholas Day. St. Nicholas, also known as Nicholas of Myra, was a fourth-century bishop known for his generosity, particularly towards children. His legend has inspired countless stories and traditions worldwide, most notably the figure of Santa Claus. In many European countries, it is customary for children to leave their shoes out on the night of December 5th, waking up to find them filled with gifts and sweets from St. Nicholas. On St. Nicholas Day, let's remember and celebrate the spirit of giving that is at the heart of this festive season. I'm thinking I'd rather have a Christmas stocking than having it put in my shoes. Have you spelled my shoes? I think that would be much, much wiser thing. I'm Elle Sanderson. Thank you for joining us on our journey to celebrate every day. And join us for all of our adventures on Facebook and Instagram at Destination Celebration Show. Until next time, keep celebrating. Well, thank you Marlowe for that interesting information.
