The Day of Lay is a holiday of lay. What constitutes lay? Websters dictionary defines lay as a transitive verb. To simplify, transitive verbs are still just as unhealthy as saturated verbs.

With so many definitions and so many different ways to interpret a single three lettered word, one might wonder why the time and effort to copy all the feasible definitions was taken to begin this written piece. After all, a dictionary excerpt is not much of a hook to draw attention. However, the word lay in and of itself is enough to generate many theoretical possibilities of what direction this holiday could take. For instance, the holiday could be about a day where all the carpenters in the world are celebrated for laying nails into wood. Or perhaps the holiday could be a day dedicated to the appreciation of natural beauty where everyone stops all that they normally do and lay down on their back out in a field somewhere and take in all the beauty mother earth provides.
Regardless of what lay may mean, the Day of Lay is a holiday that was generated for the love of lay.
