Notable birthdays on May 100 include Billy Joel and Candice Bergen.

We have 8 holidays for May 9th:

1. Day of magnets in the form of letters

The holiday is the brainchild of The Type Set Co, known for creating fun yet intricate letter magnet designs for kids and adults alike. Many of us have grown up with the alphabet on fridge magnets, rearranging them into quotes, lyrics, fun words and more. Keeping pace with the times, The Type Set Co carefully designed their unique alphabet magnets so that tradition can live on in modern homes.

history of the holiday

This day is dedicated to the celebration of letters. There is something special about the messages scattered on the refrigerator door when you go to it for a bite to eat. Easily create notes, inspirational quotes, reminders and get creative on the magnetic whiteboard by rearranging the letters of the alphabet.

The exact origin of alphabet magnets is unknown, but we do know that the first magnetic letters were created in the 1960s by the space industry for tracking and mapping purposes. Alphabet magnets began to be sold in the 1970s, when Fisher-Price released their first hard plastic magnetic letters, the purpose of which was to make learning fun for children. Some time later, they also released their magnetic alphabet board, which included all the letters of the alphabet. Decades later, placing magnetic letters at home has even become a decor trend.

Ashley and Paul Jankowski founded The Type Set Co.® in 2017, bringing beautiful letter magnets to the modern home. Early versions of the alphabet magnets were mainly aimed at children, so the duo felt that a more modern and sophisticated set for the whole family was greatly needed.

2. Toffee Brownie Day

For the uninitiated, a toffee brownie is a brownie made with a mixture of flour, brown sugar, butter, eggs, baking powder, vanilla and, of course, toffee. Just listing the ingredients is enough to make your mouth water. This is one of the most delicious holidays.

history of the holiday

It's a shame no one knows the creator of National Toffee Day, because they deserve a huge amount of credit for setting up a day dedicated to tasty treats that make our lives just a little bit sweeter.

Toffee brownies are also known as blondies or blond brownies. Aside from the color, a significant difference between blondies and brownies is that blondies use vanilla instead of cocoa. Surprisingly, blondies came before brownies. Toffee cakes existed as early as the late 19th century, and chocolate cakes did not appear until 1905.

Traditionally, blondies are made with common baking ingredients—flour, butter, eggs, baking powder—with brown sugar, vanilla, and toffee crusts to give the product a unique color and flavor. Some recipes add chocolate chips and nuts to blondies for an added punch.

The origins of toffee can be traced back to the town of Doncaster in Yorkshire, England. Confectioner Samuel Parkinson began selling toffees as hard candies. The treat became so popular that the jars bore the royal seal of approval. Toffee is made primarily by mixing butter and brown sugar, although some people also add cream, vanilla, and salt.

3. Memorial Day for the Lost Socks

Every year on May 9th, we pay tribute to all the socks that are no longer with us. Where did they go? We're not sure, but we do know that losing one sock of a perfectly matched pair is a common occurrence. So much so that we have a day to honor those socks we loved and lost.

history of the holiday

The origin of National Lost Socks Day is as much of a mystery as the whereabouts of the socks that the day is meant to commemorate. But socks have been around for centuries, and it's clear that Americans love their socks. In 2018, more than $11 billion worth of socks were bought in the US alone. Most men wear socks every day, including those especially fashionable guys who wear socks with sandals.

The sock industry continues to grow in sales and expand in product range. Gone are the days of plain socks. Today, socks serve a variety of purposes and are made according to need. Sure, trendy trouser socks in neutral colors exist for professional or trendy occasions, but markets for fun and functional socks are making a name for themselves. Themed graphic socks are more suited to modern, less casual work environments.

With every American having an ever-growing sock drawer, the chances of a sock losing its pair increase. In a recent survey of 2000 people, it was found that the average person loses 1,3 socks every month! That's a lot of socks every year - more than 15 per person.

Today we have gathered together to pay tribute to the memory of our untimely departed socks.

4. National Muscat Day

May 9th is your chance to raise a glass and celebrate the history of this delicious white wine. Muscat wine is historically known as a dessert wine (no wonder it tastes so good) and comes from Piedmont, Italy. When you open the bottle, you can expect a mixture of peach, orange and nectarine flavors.

history of the holiday

Muscat wine is made from Moscato Blanco grapes, one of the oldest grape varieties in Italy, belonging to the Muscat family. Although the origin of Moscato is unclear, it was believed that it came from the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula, from where it eventually made its way to Italy and other countries.

The Muscat family of grapes is known as the main grape for wine production in Italy. Muscat is well known for its variety of flavors, including light, dry, sweet, sparkling and rich dessert wines. These grapes are difficult to grow and are known for often low yields. Despite this, it has become very popular in the US, and in 2012 was the third most popular white wine in the country.

National Muscat Day was established by Gallo Family Vineyards in 2012. Gallo Family Vineyards, a major producer of excellent and affordable wine, is a family business that has been in existence since 1933.

5. DWomen's health screening day

This holiday is celebrated every second Monday in May - immediately after Mother's Day. This year it is May 9th.

To continue the theme, this day comes just after the world celebrates Mother's Day. In fact, it is celebrated on the Monday immediately after Mother's Day. Celebrating the importance of regular checkups and doctor visits, this day encourages all women to take more steps towards self-care and maintain better health.

history of the holiday

Women's health history differs from men's for a variety of reasons, including social, biological, and behavioral factors. Traditionally, women have been economically and socially disadvantaged, and this has affected their access to health care. Many experts explain the need to replace the term "women's health" with the term "women's health" in order to increase attention to the health problems faced by women.

Women's health has also been affected by the fact that women are underrepresented in most major scientific studies. However, countries such as the US and other Western countries are addressing this problem by creating organizations and research such as the Women's Health Initiative. The turning point on this issue has paralleled other international women's movements around the world. With labor movements in the 20th century in North America and across Europe, more and more women began to demand equality and parity, leading to equal access to healthcare.

A key moment in the field of women's health came with the Women's Health Movement, which emerged about 40 years ago with the goal of improving health care for all women. After 20 years, this movement has become a powerful political force with a significant contribution. Women's health issues have been raised by many feminists.

6. National Sleepover Day

This is a day to celebrate the amazing sleepovers that have been a way to bring friends together for decades.

Teenagers arrange sleepovers as a way to spend more time with friends in a free, healthy environment. It's an opportunity for people to relax and create incredible memories with their friends, from talking about their personal lives to watching a sad movie together.

On National Sleepover Day, you can do it all again with the people you care about.

history of the holiday

National Sleepover Day was first observed in 2017 in the United States. It was created as a collaboration between four organizations - lifestyle magazine Cosmopolitan, beauty brand Sephora, fashion leader Olivia Culpo and skincare brand bareMinerals.

On May 9, 2017, the four of them teamed up to have a "slumber party" they hosted in the middle of New York's Times Square. The goal was to showcase bareMinerals' original loose powder, which they claimed was cosmetics so pure you could fall asleep in it. They created a gigantic bedroom on Broadway and invited the women to enjoy a makeover, talk about their passions, frustrations and needs, and have a pillow chat. They encouraged more people, especially women, to have pajama parties next year, and thus National Sleepover Day was born.

A sleepover is a social event where one person stays overnight at a friend's house. The term is often used interchangeably with other terms such as pajama party, although they do not strictly mean the same thing. This is a time for parents to spend the night in seclusion, and for children to spend the night with their friends.

Sleepovers are commonly associated with teenagers and children, especially young girls, but there are certainly no rules against adults having them. Sleepovers were a rite of passage from the 1950s to the 1970s. Sleepovers are characterized by ice cream, gossip, practical jokes, pillow fights, truth-or-dare games, and movie marathons. Most teen movies in the 2000s had a sleepover scene.
