What is National Hole In My Bucket Day?

National Hole in My Bucket Day is observed on May 30th of each year. This wacky holiday is in honor of the fun children's song; There's a Hole in My Bucket.

Henry and Liza's back-and-forth discussion is about a back-and-forth conversation, which has its roots in 1700 Germany. Henry Henry has to replace his leaky bucket. Henry begs Liza for assistance in each stanza. To repair his bucket, he needs a bucket to carry water.

Although this annual event was inspired by a musician's inability with repairing a leaky bucket, there are other ways to commemorate this day. When a once usable bucket becomes a hole, we're sure it's a bit of a bummer. However, not all is lost. Holey buckets still serve a purpose. Although they can no longer hold liquids (or hold them tightly), they can also hold volumes of mass. It can do many jobs depending on where the hole is located.
