As I sit in the hot end-of-summer sun on this Blueberry Popsicle Day, I cannot help feel sad that another summer is just weeks away from becoming a memory — three more weeks. But between now and then there are a lot of fun days to look forward to.

Sunday, September 3 is Working Mother’s Day. I want all working mothers to take a paid day off on Sunday (I guess this day was put on the calendar by stay-at-home dads).

Monday, September 4 is the American celebration of Labor Day, while north of the border our Canadian friends will be celebrating their own national holiday, Labour Day. The 4th is also Bright Idea Day, a good day to celebrate putting Working Mother’s Day on a Sunday.

Tuesday, September 5 is an important day for many people who celebrate First Day of School Day. It’s also Be Late for Something Day; just don’t be late for school.

Wednesday the 6th is Do It Day. Some of these holidays are most likely “Hallmark Holidays” (although our friends at American Greetings may take exception), but I’m pretty sure Do It! Day is a “Nike Holiday.”

Thursday is one of the most important holidays in the world, the celebration of the start of the 2006 NFL season. Many American men will be celebrating on the 7th. They should also be celebrating on the 8th, National Nose Hair Maintenance Day.

Sunday the 10th is Grandparents’ Day and Monday the 11th is Patriot Day. But the most important day this week is the 12th, Chocolate Milkshake Day.

Thursday is an important day in public relations. The 14th is not only Write Your Own Headlines Day but also Cream-filled Donut Day. The 14th is also Hug A Crabby Stranger Day, but I never celebrate it.

Internationally, Saturday September 16th is the start of Oktoberfest in Germany and Cinco de Mayo in Mexico. Wait… Mexican Independence Day is the 16th of September? So what is the 5th of May? I guess you’ll have to wait until May.

In the US, Saturday, September 16th is Wife Appreciation Day and Collect Rocks Day.

Sunday the 17th pulls off the rare patriotic hat trick with the triple celebration of Citizenship Day, Constitution Day and G-d Bless America Day.

Laundry Day is the 19th. This is actually the only day we do laundry in our house.

The Jewish New Year begins Friday night September 22nd. 5767 already? Where does the time go?

The first day of Fall is Saturday the 23rd. Sigh.

Don’t despair; Pancake Day is Tuesday the 26th.

The month of September ends in another important celebration in the public relations world. Ask A Stupid Question Day is Saturday, September 30.

The month of September is Mom and Apple Pie Month and All-American Breakfast Month.

Please don’t forget that the United States Congress has designated the month of September as National Chicken Month and National Literacy Month.
