Monday's Holidays!

We're back again with another edition of Weird Holiday Monday, working to end that bad association with Mondays by bringing you some of the best of the holidays for the coming days, week, or month. This list isn’t going to include holidays like Presidents’ Day or Valentine’s Day. Everyone already knows about those. These are some of the lesser-known, but no less fun, celebrations. And you can save money as you acknowledge these interesting occasions--how cool is that?

Month of February

February is Return Shopping Carts to the Supermarket Month! If you're not lucky enough to shop at the kind of store where the cart boys stalk you as you push your overloaded grocery cart to the car, please remember to spare the paint jobs on your fellow shoppers' cars. Return your cart!

February is Care About Your Indoor Air month! Maybe that's because February is so cold that most of us can't open our windows and get any fresh air. I'm looking forward to a nice warm day--hope I don't have too long to wait.

This Week's Holidays

February 8 is the Boy Scouts' Anniversary! I'm a big fan of the Boy Scouts of America and the work they do to provide boys with opportunities to develop many important skills. Through Scouting, my older son has tried water-skiing, whitewater canoeing, whittling, rifle shooting and archery.
