How Holidays Begin and How
to Start One.
Rules for Use:
All our holidays are validated with sponsors, organizations, proclamations,
history; or, we validate the source or origin for an observance to prove
it's not made up.
I do not respect other holiday sites that steal my
information and put it on a site wanting to make money from ads or charging
to even validate a holiday.
I'll add holidays for free if they are coming
from a valid source and not obscene, hateful, etc..
My holidays as a
daily, weekly, monthly and total composite are copyrighted via this domain and
are not to be taken and put on another website, blog, or made into a downloadable
application, etc.. Doing so is a violation of the DMCA.
I invite you to use my holiday pages for personal
use, off-line use for clubs, newsletters, homemade calendars, etc..

Full Moon on the 7th is called "Worm Moon"
by Native Americans of New England and the Great Lakes because this time of
the year there are signs of earthworms as the ground thaws in preparation for
spring.
