A to Z 2024: Y is for watching Viral Videos on Youtube
- The first viral video on You Tube was an unauthorized bootleg of the SNL digital short Lazy Sunday. It had over 5,000,000 views between December 2005 and February of 2006 when You Tube took it down. SNL has since put the video up on it's own You Tube Channel.
- Like many subsequent viral videos Lazy Sunday spawned some response videos. This one being a shot by shot remake
- In 2008 the viral video Charlie bit my finger - Again blew up on You Tube. To date it has 886,000,000 views. My son was 7 when this came out and I must say he was very good at shutting people down before they ever got to teasing him about that.
- By 2013 most everyone knew what a viral video was. April 29th 2013 was the first known occurrence of Viral Video Day.
- Since then, viral videos have not gone away. Video's like this one my daughter calls Chewbacca Mom. It had 13,00,000 views in the past 7 years.

A to Z 2024: X marks the spot that pampered dogs have in our heart
For The A to Z Challenge this year, I am focusing on everyday holidays. Each day there are multiple unusual things to celebrate. Every day of the challenge I look for an event taking place that day and pair it with the letter of the day. I have also made up 5 holidays to coincide with the vowel days of the challenge. At the end of each post I will share a special song of the day for that day's letter. At the end of the month, these songs will be assembled in an A to Z keepsake playlist on Spotify. Every day is a celebration, let's unwrap today's together.
April 27th is National Little Pampered Dog Day
That's it. That's all I've got it's 11:54 on April 27th and I've gotten all my posts this month in on time. What I lack in content, I make up for in punctuality.

The song of the day is Xandadu by Olivia Newton John & ELO from the 1980 film, Xanadu. I saw it when it came out. I didn't like it then, it was more of a xanadon't. But this clip makes me consider giving it a second viewing.
X is 10 in Roman Numerals but today X makes 24 songs on the Spotify Playlist
