The time between New Years and Memorial Day is always the longest stretch of time ever. Oh sure, we throw Easter in there for a change up but really the days are so long and dark and cold that time seems to almost stand still leaving us with very little reason to feel like celebrating at all. Today at work, someone mentioned it was National Professional Administrative Assistant Day today and I started to realize that there are plenty of holidays to celebrate on the calendar that we just don't take full advantage of! There's still time to get down and party before Memorial Day and summer!
For example, not only is April 21 to the 27th Administrative Professional Assistant Week, it's also Crime Victim Rights Week, Karaoke Week, Volunteer Week and Princess Week! Surely we could have partied every day with those great reasons! And just one day off, from April 22 to the 28th it is National Water Park Zone Safety Week! So get out those inner tubes and Speedos and let's party!
If that's not enough, April 24 to 30th is National Scoop the Poop Week! Imagine the shenanigans we could get into celebrating that! Then there are all those great holidays that didn't warrant their own full week but, instead, got one day to celebrate. April 26th is Hug An Australian Day! Now I don't happen to know any Australians but if I see someone who looks like he might be from down under I'm going to grab him and give him such a hug! April 27th is Babe Ruth Day AND Bulldogs are Beautiful Day! Whoa! A double header! We'll have to stay out late that night!
Heading into May the fun does not stop! May 1 to May 7th is Choose Privacy Week. I'm not exactly sure how you celebrate that one unless you just close your blinds and don't answer your phone for a week. May 5th to May 11th is National Raisin Week. I won't be joining in the festivities for this one. I hate raisins. They are the lifeless, soulless shells of once formerly plump juicy grapes and there is nothing left of them to love. Ew. Hate them. But hey, I won't miss any fun because May 6th to May 19th is Intimate Apparel Week! I wonder if they'll let us honor this one at work...
There's two reasons to celebrate on May 3! It's not only Hug Your Cat Day, it's also No Pants Day! Be careful if you celebrate both at the same time. Some cats don't like to be hugged and have sharp claws and if you're not wearing pants...well, ouch! Not to be outdone, May 4th is National Respect for the Chicken Day! I think I will treat myself to some KFC on that day. I have mad respect for the Colonel. Speaking of chickens, May 11th is National Chicken Dance Day! And I think that is the perfect day to end our two months of partying and carousing! We can shake our tail feathers into the wee hours of morning and then take the rest of the month to tidy up, sober up and get ready for Memorial Day and the start of summer!
So you see? Winter may be long and boring but only if you let it. There are so many reasons to celebrate we'll never get to them all. But it will be fun trying!
