Woah, batman day? I am ALL over that one. Who knew?
Who knew!? That's awesome!!
I find it hilarious that "preventing teen pregnancy" day is the day after "no pants" day! Maybe we should switch those?
What a fun list. I too noticed Batman Day! What's up with Put a Pillow in the Fridge Day?
Maybe for people who like their pillow super cold? As big as a pillow is, though, I am more worried about the lack of food in the house, lol!
Am I the only one who thinks that there might be a direct connection to "No Pants Day" and the day following being "National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy Day?" Just a thought:)
Bahahahaha! I bet you are right! I now think perhaps the No Pants Day should only be celebrated by those 21+. :)
We have so many May birthdays in our family, My favorite May day is May the 4th :)
This is a fun list! No Pants Day? Yikes! I think I'll skip out on that one. Wait- I could wear a skirt, right? ;)
Hey I think that technically that would work! Or maybe shorts?
I didn't know there was a Step-Mother's Day. That means I get TWO Mother's Day in May. Woohoo {off to celebrate}
Hehe....what a fun list! I wish I had a cat to hug on Hug Cat Day! Oh, it might be scary for me to be running around with no pants on, scary sight! LOL!
Wow what a list of holidays! I will be enjoying No Pants Day tomorrow! Maybe today too! ;)
Think I'd rather celebrate oyster day than Cinco de Mayo. If only we were closer to the coast.
