Happy Belated Dyngus Day!

Sorry everyone. The reason the ski’s haven’t been blogging as mightly as before is becuase we were busy preparing for and celebrating Dyngus Day!Dyngus Day is a secret Polish-American holiday always held on the day after Easter. I say secret because no one outside of the northeast or midwest knows about it ~ and most within the northeast and midwest don’t know about it either for that matter! It is sort of the Polish version of Mardi Gras in that a blowout celebration is held, in this case it is after Lent and not before.

But wait, it gets better.

Dyngus Day provides an outlet for singles to express their desire to get to know another person a little bit better. This is accomplished by men sprinkling women with water and women tapping men with pussy willow branches. If you are Polish, this just seems sensible. If you are not Polish, you will never be able to understand, trust me.
