It's National Mad Hatter Day!

Sir John Tenniel

Today is National Mad Hatter Day! October 6th was chosen due to the "10/6" tag seen on the Mad Hatter's top hat in the original illustrations. The tag referred to the price of a hat in the 1860s: 10 shilling and 6 pence. National Mad Hatter Day is the perfect day to celebrate all things Wonderland by wearing outrageous hats and holding tea parties filled with curiouser and curiouser sweets.
