Hey everyone, today is May 1st,
if you didn’t know about May Day, we found some info on the internet about today.
In early 1928 writer and poet Don Blanding wrote an article in a local paper suggesting that a holiday be created centered around the Hawaiian custom of making and wearing lei. It was fellow writer Grace Tower Warren who came up with the idea of a holiday on May 1 in conjunction with May Day. She is also responsible for the phrase, “May Day is Lei Day.” If you are planning a trip to Hawaii at the end of the month into early May, you’ll get to experience this Hawaiian holiday first-hand for yourself.
have a happy lei day and if you are not married yet, plan for next may day to have a flower festival on your wedding day.
Peace out!
