Fairies are Real and Museums are Alive

Happy International Fairy Day! Falling on a Sunday is perfect for this year's Fairy Day because it is True Blood night, and (as every Truebie knows) Sookie Stackhouse is a "fae"belonging to the fairy world.  Anyway, today is the day to celebrate the beautiful, mythical creatures little girls dream of which were made famous in the classic tale Peter Pan. While normal humans should not be able to see fairies, certain pagan and Celtic holidays like Beltane, Mid-Summer's Eve, and All Hallow's Eve can help breach the world division of human and fairy. Maybe you'll get lucky and see a fairy tonight!

Today is also Museum Comes to Life Day! AS soon as I heard the name of this holiday, my thoughts immediately went to the movie Night at the Museum and its sequel. While these movies are mentioned on websites for this holiday, the day is truly meant to celebrate the vast knowledge that libraries and museums have to offer kids and adults of all ages. Perhaps, if you imagine hard enough, you can see the exhibits of your local museums come to life too! (Or you could just watch the movie).
The Holiday Hero and I have actually gone to the Natural History Museum in NYC where the movie took place, and I was able to use my memory of the movie to imagine the exhibits coming to life. I'm really not sure I would want to be there if that ever actually happened--kind of a scary thought!

I'm a kid, I know!

Well, today was fun! Can't wait to see what tomorrow has to offer.

CS, out.
