Holidays
The word 'holidays' comes from the original of 'holy days.' These days, there are holidays for just about everything, from the serious and religious to the fun and outrageous. Did you know that there is a World UFO day? Well, in case you didn't, it is on July 2. So get out your binoculars and foil hats and head out to Area 51 for a picnic!
