So, what May holidays will you be celebrating this year?
This list of May holidays was compiled from a calendar that I bought called Everyday’s a Holiday, from Holiday Insights and from random findings on the internet. We do not guarantee these holidays to be real nor did we create them. Don’t kill the messenger. 😛
Wow had no idea there were so many holidays in May, Only ones I remembered was mothers day and memorialday, but I do believe I need to celebrate a few extra like National Hamburger Day, Cookie Monsters Birthday, and No dirty Dishes Day on May 18, like this list was fun..
No dirty dishes sounds awesome to me. 😀
I never new so many holidays could be in one month of course I never have heard of a lot of them but it was fun to see some of there names I laughed at a few thanks for taking the time to fine all those holidays . like I said it made my day with a laugh
Yay! I am glad that you enjoyed the list!
My cats are going to get awfully sick of me on May 3 (Hug Your Cat Day), but I’m looking forward to it! 😉
My husband is such a cat person and we have 4 of them. I imagine he will go stupid that day, lol!
wow! who knew there were so many reasons for celebration in may!! looks like we have a lot to look forward to in addition to baby on the way
Congratulations on the baby!!
Who knew there were that many celebrations/holidays? Wow so much to celebrate! I love the Hug Your Cat Day! 🙂 I have 3 precious rescue cats that I love like my own kids! I was always a dog person, until I met my hubby who LOVES cats! lol Never thought I’d have 3 of them, but they’re so awesome with their different personalities, they’re irreplaceable! 🙂
Same here! My husband LOVES cats and I was kind of “eh” about them, but they are so sweet and funny!
I love the Great American Grump Out Day.
Memorial Day! my fav
That’s awesome, I love that today is national wig out day. I’m going to assume it means to “freak out” as opposed to wear a wig out because that’s just more fun. Now I will really celebrate this weekend knowing there is so many great reasons to!!! 🙂
There are so many holidays and so many strange ones. My favorite silly one is put a pillowin your fridge. Where are the holidays for June? I miss this list.
Sadly, I never did one for June. Hopefully I will catch that one next year. I missed April, too. *gasp*
