I am a Canadian and all my mystery, historical, romance, and young adult novels are set in Canada. Canada (like many countries) has national holidays that are sanctioned by the government and are devoted to famous persons or events. There is usually one a month and most workers have the day off to celebrate it. However, it is a little known fact that each day of the year is dedicated to some animal, or food, or activity. None of them is a recognized holiday but they are worth acknowledging. Here are some for the last part of May.

May 19—National Devil’s Food Cake Day. I love chocolate cake so will be going shopping later.

May 20—Pick Strawberries Day.

May 21—National Waiters and Waitresses Day.

May 22—Victoria Day. This is celebrated in Canada to commemorate Queen Victoria, May 24, 1819 – January 22, 1901. She reigned from June 20, 1837 until her death. At 63 years 216 days she was the longest reigning monarch until Queen Elizabeth II who was on the throne from February 6, 1952 until her death in September 8, 2022.

May 23—Lucky Penny Day. Since Canada doesn’t have pennies anymore I think it should be changed to lucky nickel day.

May 24—National Scavenger Hunt Day.

May 25—Towel Day. Not sure what you are supposed to do with the towel.

May 26-- Sally Ride Day

May 27—National Hugging Day

May 28—Hamburger Day. My hubby is going to like that.

May 29—Memorial Day. It is celebrated in the United States to mourn and honour the country’s military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces.

May 30—Water a Flower Day. They will like it in this heat we are having.

May 31--National Macaroon Day.

 

I have written three books in what I call Joan’s Historical Yukon Novels: Romancing the Klondike (Historical romance), Rushing the Klondike (sequel to Romancing the Klondike), and Sleuthing the Klondike (historical mystery). All are set during the Klondike Gold Rush 1896-1898. Here is the link to my author’s page at BWL Publishing, Inc. to find these books or any of my other mystery, romance, and historical novels.
