Dyngus Day
Being of Polish decent - my Mama's folks came over on the boat - I thought you might find Dyngus Day - Easter Monday - to be of interest. Buffalo, NY - my hometown - is considered the Dyngus Day Festival Capitol.
 And one of my favorite foods to eat on Dyngus Day?
Pussy Willows or Water? "This is a yearly debate among Dyngus Day revelers. The tradition holds true that on Easter Monday boys would sprinkle the girls with water and tap them with pussy willows. On Easter Tuesday, the women would return their favorite. During modern Dyngus Day, it is common practice that both men and women trade water and pussy willow equally." ~from DyngusDayBuffalo.com
