Now to keep May a little exciting and fun, here are some
special days to have fun with.
May 1, of course is May day. May Day has different meanings
for different cultures but here in the US is is a celebration of spring. So spend some time outside (if you can, it
can also be a wet rainy day), and maybe plant some flower seeds.
For all of you who like Star Wars, May 4th is
Star Wars day. A good day for movies and
popcorn. If you are still in a stay at
home order, have a Star Wars marathon.
Cinco de Mayo, May 5th is a great day for some
tacos. To some people it is thought to be the Mexican Independence day. But if you don’t like tacos, May 5th
is also National Hoagie day.
National Nurses Day is May 6th. And at this time more than any, say thank you
to your favorite nurse. Maybe have the
kids draw some thank you cards to send to a local hospital or clinic.
Mother’s Day here in the States is May 10th. So bring Mom breakfast in bed and surprise
her by cleaning your room without her telling you to.
If you are one who likes hummus, May 13th is
National Hummus Day. But if you are more of a traditional food person, it is
also National Apple Pie Day and National Fruit Cocktail Day.
Staying with food, May14th is National Buttermilk Biscuit day
and May 15th is National Chocolate Chip Day as well as National
Pizza Day. So there you are for a
menu. Pizza for dinner and chocolate
chips (in a cookie or ice cream) for dessert.
May 21st is National Waitstaff Day so if you can
go dine in a restaurant, leave a big tip and if you can still only do take out
or delivery, give a tip to whoever brings you your food.
Sunday, May 24th is National Scavenger Hunt Day
so what if you planned a hunt for the kids (or kids do it for your parents, or
both) and get some exercise outside in the yard. Remember to social distance.
Here is a day you can celebrate indoors or out, May 26th is National Paper Airplane Day. Maybe make an airplane out of a note of good
wishes and throw it in your neighbors yard to brighten their day.
May 28th is National Hamburger Day so either go
to a favorite hamburger joint or get out that grill.
Just like with April make the month of May something a month
of fun things to brighten up these gloomy times.
