Yes, there really is a National Ding-A-Ling Day. When it was created, it was intended to remind you to reach out to old friends on December 12 to catch up. You know, call them on the phone, give them a Ding-A-Ling. Post about it on social media with the hashtag #DingALingDay. Whatever happens don’t do as I do when I hear of this day and think about one of my favorite Chuck Berry songs. Happy Ding-A-Ling Day!
