These days are like calendar comets---you wait and wait and wait for them, then they brighten up your day---and poof---they're gone!

The simplest way to celebrate Ones Upon a Day?---just share it with friends. Greet them with the news of the day---and they, in turn, can tell another. It's kind of like a secret that you can't help sharing. A little math, a little smile, a little fun---that's Ones Upon a Day!
