Ahh, you just gotta love Wikipedia for stuff like this. I had never heard this term for Easter Monday. But here’s an interesting snippet from Wikipedia:
“In Poland, traditionally, early in the morning boys awake girls by pouring a bucket of water on their head and strike them about the legs with long thin twigs or switches made from willow, birch or decorated tree branches (palmy wielkanocne);”
Please tell me you do this to your wife every Easter Monday.. please… If I tried that, they would have to create Easter “hubby get’s kicked in the pills” Tuesday…

Ha! I celebrate Dyngus Day by doing the same thing every year…nothing. By the way, if I even tried to celebrate a traditional Dyngus Day I would likely wake up a few minutes later with a bump on my head and my wife standing over me with a hot iron. Those Italian’s are rough people. You know what I mean, right?
