Happy belated Birthday to Mr. Lincoln!
Roger and Jo - please know that while it is sad and frustrating that no mention was made on the news, the spirit (and the parties) is alive and well!

I wasn't able to join the celebration in Springfield or Washington this year but two good friends who attended made sure, through social media, that we did not miss a thing and reported dutifully and in detail about the events until late at night!
Many more people got to enjoy it!

Also - and this, too, happens on facebook and twitter (hate it or love it...) - I can report that the world wide cake battle in honor of Lincoln's birthday was won by Canada this year.
Forum member Mary-Margret has OUTDONE herself with a gorgeous and colorful - and supposedly YUMMY - treat that made the German contender look a little weak and conservative (I'm already heating up the oven for next year!)

Denmark threw in a somewhat lazy movie marathon and French fans held a contest to memorize and present the Gettysburg Adress (without an accent).

I am aware - this is in NO way what you feel is missing and I agree. But there is still...something.
