Hello everyone, and welcome to a new "Yes, It's a Holiday" collab with my Instagram friends  Debra  and  Lori .  Today, September 29th, we are helping to celebrate National Coffee Day, which was created by the National Coffee Association as a day to  celebrate coffee in the United States.  The first official National Coffee Day is believed tho have been on September 29, 2005, by the National Coffee Association (NCA), a trade organization that represents the U.S. coffee industry.   Please be aware that today's holiday is only observed in the USA and is distinct from  International Coffee Day, which is celebrated on October 1st.   To read more about today's holiday, just click  HERE .
