Erm?...

According to Robert Chambers's _Book of Days_ it's the anniversary
of the outbreak of the Marseilles Plague of 1720 and was formerly
"Flitting-Day" in Scotland (the day when people preferred to move
house). Unless you have a thing about St Adhelm of Sherburn, whose
day it is, what else is special about it?

Ragmop enjoys taunting all those who make quilted/patchwork things
for Christmas. This was her way of pointing out that those poor souls
have exactly 7 months to get their "rears in gear" as my sister would
