Holiday Traditions

I think I could get behind celebrating Vappu or Valborgsmässoafton. Tehy both sound like a great deal of fun. Instead, there's a birthday in the family tomorrow and we will gather on Sunday to celebrate.
 
May 1st.

A lot of people drinking beer and showing solidarity by agreeing on who they hate....


And it is the season for "confirmation", where a lot of youngsters have a mock religious awakening, with their eyes firmly locked on the gifts and being center of attention.

Awww... sounds a bit jaded :(
Ok, and a bit like Christmas!
 
May:

May Day! That's May the 1st of course. May also happens to be National Hamburger Month in the US and, paradoxically, National Salad Month. Obviously the meat eaters weren't communicating with the vegetarians when they planned this out :rolleyes:

Other fun stuff - May is National Bike Month, and Date Your Mate Month :heart:
May 1st is also International Tuba Day - (first Friday in May), Loyalty Day, Mother Goose Day, Save the Rhino Day, and Space Day is also the first Friday in May.

Yeah, I'm going to start using my thread more. Enjoy! :)

We have the same tradition here, but the confirmation season is summer. Most kids go on a camp to learn about Jesus and stuff and come back to get their first communion and a pile of gifts. Such a weird tradition. :D

So that the ones who don't want to have even a mock religious awakening don't feel left out, there are "confirmations" and camps of non-religious type here, too. Gifts abound.

In these non-religious camps kids often go to sauna in mixed groups and every year at least one newspaper prints an article or at least a letter from a reader about what pervs the kids and especially the camp leaders are for doing that. That's another summer tradition to look forward to. :D
 
Woohoo!! May 3rd is lumpy rug day! :p

Get rid of your lumpy rug and buy a new one, or admire your soft, lumpless rug.
I'm not making this shit up myself, truly :D
