I think it needs to be National Hawai'ian shirt day...
Hawaii Admission Day In 1959, President Eisenhower signed a proclamation making Hawaii the 50th state. Celebrate by having a Hawaiian luau. Go to a party store and get some grass skirts or make your own out of green trash bags.
Use the bottom of the bag as the waistband and cut the bags in strips stopping an inch below the waistband. You can also use butcher block paper for the table cloth and decorate it by painting Hawaiian icons such as palm trees, flowers, and fish!
Dance the hula, do the limbo, top drinks with tiny festive paper umbrellas, and serve lots of tropical fruit such as coconuts, papaya, pineapple, mangoes and bananas. And don't forget to welcome your guests with a big "Aloha!"
