The Swap is Eternal

We have all been hearing the usual post-Swap excitement, with lamentations that National Soup Swap Day comes but once a year. Remember this: the swapping of soup is no more tied to NSSD than planting trees is to Arbor Day. The founders arbitrarily selected a day so that we could all celebrate across geographical boundaries and give focus to the Swap. But that doesn't mean that you can only share frozen soup once a year. Charity extends beyond Christmas, and Mardi Gras can not contain drunken revelry. Go crazy and keep the Swap alive!

Knox,

I think "the day" should be moved to the third Wednesday of January which has been scientifically proved to be the most depressing day of the year.

A countervailing event, as it were.
