Aside from Father's Day, Flag Day and the first day of summer, June might not seem to offer any holidays worth celebrating. Au contraire!
Every month is filled with holidays and observances that don't end up on official calendars, and June is no exception. This week's Take Five celebrates Chocolate Pudding Day, Smile Power Day, Gingerbread Day, National Fishing and Boating Week and Dairy Month with a few jazz notes.
Listen to five celebratory songs below.
