A queen for the day

Today, and December 12th annually, is Queen day. This is a commemorative day established by Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd., headquartered in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture.

This day is meant to encourage "me time".  For those who have been working hard at their workplace and / or housework and child-rearing its a reminder to take a break and enjoy some free time for themselves before the busy end of the year.

The date comes from the pun that reads "12 (juuni)" (freedom) and the fact that it overlaps with the number 12 in a deck of cards, which is the queen.
