Just like all the other months, March has its share of
bizarre, unusual, and unique holidays.
March also has month long celebrations:
Music in Our Schools Month, National Craft Month, National Frozen Food
Month, National Irish American Heritage Month (designated by Congress in 1995),
National Nutrition Month, National Peanut Month, National Women's History
Month, Red Cross Month, and Social Workers Month.
In addition to the month long celebrations, March also has
some week long celebrations. The second week
in March is host to two celebrations: National Bubble Week and also Crochet
Week.
March 1 National Pig Day
March 1 Peanut Butter Lovers Day
March 2 Old Stuff Day—always celebrated on
March 2. When asking someone
"What's new?" or "What's happening?" you quite often get
the stock answer of "Same old stuff."
Old Stuff Day is in recognition of that standard answer indicating a
boring life. This is a day to NOT do the
same old stuff and perpetuate your boring routine. Do something…anything…as long as it's
different.
March 3 I Want You To Be Happy Day
March 3 If Pets Had Thumbs Day
March 3 National Anthem Day
March 3 Peach Blossom Day
March 4 Holy Experiment Day
March 4 Hug A GI Day—always celebrated on March
4. Give a big hug to any and all GIs you
see today. It's a small thanks to the
men and women who serve their country.

given all the cold, snowy, and icy weather we've had in my part of the country
this winter. In addition to keeping your
ears warm, they protect you from ear infections and ear aches resulting from
icy cold wind and weather. They come in
a variety of designs and colors to fit almost anyone's personality.

March, as made famous by Shakespeare when the soothsayer says to Caesar, Beware the Ides of March.
March 15 Incredible Kid Day
March 15 Dumbstruck Day—always celebrated March

Today is the day to be dumbstruck like the rest of us without guilt or
embarrassment.
March 15 National Quilting Day (the third Saturday
in March)
March 16 Everything You Do Is Right Day—always
