Happy Lei Day!
Lei Day is a holiday celebrated annually on May 1st in Hawaii. It is dedicated to the Hawaiian tradition of making and giving leis as a symbol of love, respect, and aloha. The holiday was established in 1929 by a poet and writer named Don Blanding, who suggested that the people of Hawaii should celebrate the beauty of the Hawaiian lei and its cultural significance. On Lei Day, people in Hawaii greet each other by saying "Hau'oli Lei Day!" and give each other leis as a symbol of their affection and appreciation. The holiday is an important part of Hawaiian culture and is celebrated with various events, including lei-making contests, parades, and music and dance performances. Hau'oli Lei Day Moksha!
