    The 'Kiss Your Mate Day' Story...
    Make an extra effort today to kiss your significant other.

    It's also: May Day

    May Day is a public holiday usually celebrated on 1 May or the first Monday of May. It is
    an ancient festival of spring[1] and a current traditional spring holiday in many European
    cultures. Dances, singing, and cake are usually part of the festivities.[2]

    In 1889, May Day was chosen as the date for International Workers' Day by the Socialists and Communists of the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket
    affair in Chicago.[3] International Workers' Day is also called "May Day", but it is a
    different celebration from the traditional May Day.
