May is a fun month. It includes a day devoted to eating tacos and drinking margaritas, Cinco de Mayo. It features one of the sweetest and most important holidays of all, Mother’s Day. Then there’s Memorial Day, which is both a poignant holiday and the unofficial kickoff to summer.
And, if all that isn’t fun enough for you, May even boasts the only holiday celebrated with pole dancing. Of course, that would be the maypole dancing on May Day.
The fact that the weather is improving is just one more reason to get excited about May. In many places, May is when the chill of winter finally dissipates and things begin to really grow. It’s when those April showers pay off with some beautiful May flowers, as the old saying promises.
If the coming of May has you in a good mood, why not spread those positive feelings far and wide? To help you, we’ve put together the following list of Happy May wishes for friends, family, coworkers, and all the rest. Send these messages over social media, text message, or any other medium suitable for sharing flowery greetings.
