Did you know that today was National White T-Shirt Day?


According to my Paper Crafts magazine, February 11 is National White T-Shirt Day. This holiday celebrates the strike at General Motors in 1937. To symbolize the event, people wear a white shirt or blouse. Apparently it started out as 'White Shirt Day' but somehow over the years the title turned into White T-Shirt Day. Now the holiday mostly celebrates the fun of wearing the popular white t-shirt instead of what it was originally intended to remember. Even though I am a GMC owner and support American made cars, today Leah and I celebrated the 100th day of school instead!
