About the Holiday

Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day celebrates this proverb that has been around since the 1600s. British historian and writer James Howell penned “No weeping for shed milk” back in 1659. It basically means don't sweat the small stuff. Nothing beneficial can come out of crying over a little problem like spilled milk. Just clean it up and move on. This holiday that reminds us to get over it. Whatever setbacks, or unlucky breaks, we've had are in the past and what matters is the future. Use today to wipe up the spilled milk in your life and move on.
