National lost sock memorial day

Almost everyone has gone to the unload their laundry, and a sock or two comes up missing. 

Today is the day to clean out your sock drawer and get rid of those socks who no longer have a match, as May 9 marks National Sock Memorial Day. 

According to National Day Calendar, participants should take a picture of their mismatched socks and post them using the hashtag #LostSockMemoriaDay while cleaning out their sock drawer. 

Also, if you don't want to throw the socks in the trash, participants are encouraged to research creative ways to repurpose the socks.
