A brand new month and with it brand new days to celebrate something.
March brings us, among many other things besides a day to "be Irish" on St. Patrick's Day, the following American designations:
- Irish American Heritage Month
- Music in Our Schools Month
- National Celery Month
- National Craft Month
- National Frozen Food Month
- National Nutrition Month
- National Peanut Month
- National Women's History Month
- Red Cross Month
- Social Workers Month

The title of the post sums up my displeasure. It is taken from The Office's Michael Scott, who naively and perfectly wishes that every day was diversity day.
Amen, Michael Scott! Can we stop highlighting certain groups at the risk of omitting others? And, I wonder, do Frozen Food, Celery and the Peanut really need a month to be celebrated? And what does that even mean?
How about all the people going out for a beer to celebrate St. Patrick's Day pray a rosary before heading out? Just a thought.
