Winnie The Pooh Day ~
Happy Winnie The Pooh Day to you! Today is a day of celebration in honor of A.A. Milne {aka Alan Alexander Milne}, the wonderful writer behind Winnie The Pooh, who was born on this date in 1882. I am not sure that I have ever met a child who didn’t love Winnie The Pooh and his friends, Christopher Robin, Piglet, Eeyore and the rest of the gang. I even know many adults who wear clothing featuring the beloved characters!
Winnie The Pooh Day
If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.
― A.A. Milne, Winnie The Pooh
An interesting thing to learn about Winnie The Pooh’s creator, A.A. Milne, is that he was educated by H.G. Wells {man, these men like their abbreviations/vague anonymity don’t they?} who was best known for writing War Of The Worlds. Had these two teamed up in writing, ol’ Winnie could have been quite a different bear. And Piglet might have really had something to be nervous about for a change. 😉
Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
― A.A. Milne
On Disney’s site, you can learn tons of fun facts about Winnie the Pooh and all of his other friends in the 100 Acre Wood, as well as take a personality quiz to see which character you are most like. This should give you plenty of ideas to celebrate Winnie The Pooh Day!
Before my daughter was even born, we started buying all of the humongous collector stuffed animals in the Pooh collection. I think that her personal favorite was Tigger and we used to watch his movie over and over again. After all, he was the bounciest!

my kids love Winnie the Pooh!
I never knew there was a day like this! Fun!
My kids are not big pooh fans, but I am. I LOVED Piglet and Tigger. Thanks for stopping by my blog for Foodie Friday today.
I loved Winnie the Pooh as a kid! Need to find some of my old books and read them to my niece and nephew the next time I see them. Such classics! - Katy
I'm not a big winnie the pooh fan just because I love more abstract things without brands and labels, BUT I do love the good "words to live by" :)
Aw, Pooh! Happy Birthday you honey-lovin' bear. My daughter just discovered Winnie and the gang. She is always asking why the donkey is so sad.
How fun! My Mother and litte Brother lived Winnie the Pooh when he was little.
When my daughter was really small she was a huge winnie the pooh-pooh fan!!! Love him!
I didn't know today was Winnie the Pooh Day, thanks for sharing!
I feel like I should note it is also National Squirrel Appreciation Day- But this really reminds me of my grandma, so I'll share it!
Ha! Love squirrels!
