September 29 is Michaelmas Day, and there's still time to send a greeting to a friend or relative. Why would you? Well, here are a few possible reasons.
To a Friend:
Here's wishing you a Michaelmas
That's cheerful, warm and homy
And filled, dear pal, with mem'ries of
The fifty bucks you owe me.
To a Neighbor:
Dear neighbor, just a word to say,
Wish you well this Michael's Day,
Wish you joy in everything,
Wish return of following:
-- one lawn rake
-- one weed trimmer
-- one pair garden shears
....
To a Sister:
A cheery card to darling Sis
To wish you Happy Michaelmas,
And just to mention, by the way,
I've had Mom since Labor Day!
Gee, I've never heard of Michaelmas Day. Did you write about it last year and I somehow missed it?? I love it! Is it like Festivus on Seinfeld?! In all seriousness, my brother Mike was born on Sept 29th and at that time my parents had no idea it was St. Michael the Archangel Day!
