big hands..... if you know what we're
celebrating today!
Today, my friends, is "National High
Five Day!" And I just found out about
it. You probably already knew didn't
you?
According to Holidayinsights.com
the "High Five" is a celebratory slapping of
hands atop raised arms. It's been a standard
for celebration of sporting victories, special
event, competitions and many other activities
for decades.
Basketball players are said to have started
the "High Five celebration" which may be
why I never used it very much. I wasn't
very good at the game and probably
couldn't reach high enough to meet the other
guy's hand.
High Fives date back to 1977. But three
University of Virgina college students are
credited with creating "National High Five
Day." Congress had nothing to do with it.
But, then again, when have you every seen
your Congressman giving High Fives anyway?
Most don't even talk to each other!
So make sure you run up to some folks
today with your right arm high in the
air and your palm open! You might also
consider yelling "High Five" as you do so
they don't think you're just crazy.
That way they'll also know you're not
a member of Congress.
Hope you get some High Fives today and
that all your NEWS is good!
