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.

#holeinmybucketday

The song, which has its roots in 1700 Germany, is about a back-and-forth conversation between Henry and Liza. 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 singer's inability with repairing a leaky bucket, there are other ways to commemorate this day. ce usable bucket becomes a hole, we're sure it's a bit of a bummer. However, not all is lost. Holey buckets also serve a purpose. Although they no longer hold liquids (or hold them tightly), they do still have volumes of mass. It can do several jobs depending on where the hole is located.
