Yesterday was Star Day in our house. When my son was four years old he asked me, a week before Valentines Day, why we had to have a holiday made around the shape of hearts. He said he didn't like hearts and why couldn't we have a holiday about stars? I told him that we could make our own holiday all about stars and asked him what that holiday would be like? He told me we'd have stars and candy. I should have known - every holiday for kids revolves around candy!
So since 2004, we've been celebrating Star Day near the end of February every year. We decorate the house with stars and the Star fairy delivers candy. Even the grandparents get into the celebration by sending a Star Day gift. My son tells me that he is going to ask the new president to make Star Day a national holiday. We may have to flesh out the celebration a bit before that happens.

That is so cool.
What a neat idea! I love the thought of a shape day. I may just borrow that idea next school year when I'm introducing shapes to my PreK class. It would make teaching the same old, same old a little more exciting for me.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I don't feel I am particularly witty, or have much to say that anyone outside of my mom and aunt would care to hear (and most of the time they don't even comment!) It means a lot that you would stop and comment. So thanks!
