Unofficial Holidays, Part 3 of 6

Spring has arrived! At least, that is what those of us in more northern states like to believe. Our grass is finally green (the sections of it not covered with dandelions, that is, which makes our yards actually yellow), daffodils are in bloom, other flowers have blossoms, and the trees are finally starting to sprout some leaves (what few trees we have in Indiana, that is). Our days are beginning to warm. Most of them are rainy, but at least the rain no longer includes flakes of snow. The days that are not rainy are brilliantly sunny. Spring is here.

God’s show of the new season includes green grass, blue skies, and colorful flowers. Humanity’s show of the new season includes t-shirts, shorts, and sandals. I was surprised that even in Indiana (like in New Hampshire) the shorts come out as soon as it’s all of sixty degrees and the flip-flops come out before that. With the change of wardrobe, it is only right to celebrate with a holiday:

No Socks Day!

This Friday, May 8, is No Socks Day, and I thought I’d let you know ahead of time so you can be prepared. Skip your sock drawer that morning. Throw on your sandals or flip-flops, and enjoy the day. Or if you’re really bold (and have tough feet) just go barefoot. Why not? It is a holiday!
