I stumbled upon a website yesterday that I was hoping would tell me what the significance of the month of May is. I like to put these things on the library's calendar for the month, and to pull books that apply for display. For example, April is Autism Awareness Month as well as Poetry Month, so I put out books on autism and some books of poetry for children and adults.
What I discovered is that May is not very exciting, but there does happen to be a different obscure holiday listed for every day of the month, with the strange exception of May 29. And then I got an idea. A wonderful, awful idea! What if I could celebrate a different holiday each day of the month, and then blog about it? Perhaps other people would be inspired to try the same things? There are such gems in the Month of May, by the way, as "Lost Sock Remembrance Day" and "No Diet Day."
So here you have it, the beginning of a 30-day challenge, a different holiday celebrated each day. And not only will I have something to celebrate each day, but I will have the added challenge of blogging each day to prove that I did! Do you think I can do it? Personally I'm not so sure, but I will definitely be making my best effort!
Tomorrow morning I will be celebrating May Day before I go to work. Look for an update sometime in the evening!
