This was a pretty neat experience. If you're having a baby any time soon I would encourage you to plan to buy a copy of a national newspaper on that day so that 25 years later you and your child can look back at what was going on in the country. I enjoyed it. BTW... my parents also saved the local newspaper but there was nothing important to remember in it.
