I am not the only one who seems to have an affinity for a particular month. The secular calendar is chock full of special appreciation days and weeks for February. Keep in mind that Congress, state legislatures and city councils have to actually declare these days and weeks as "official." What follows highlights your tax dollars at work.

Were you serious that some government has to approve these occasions?
I'm afraid so. According to my research, to become "official" days a government, whether local, state or federal, has to propose they be added to the calendar. Someone mentioned that the benefit is for fundraising for various organizations and groups. Just what kind of fundraising does the tooth fairy need to do?
Okay, there is a gripe in here even if a baby gripe. The government is wasting its time as usual.
The tooth fairy does a lot of fundraising, mostly from parents' pockets. Inflation has caused the price to go way up. Those fairies need all the help they can get.
