I've wanted to streamline my tags for some time to make their basic themes more accessible to curious readers, so I think I'm going to "take the day off" from Xanga to work on my site design. Hope you don't mind. 
April 8th
This is the fifth Day of the Megalesia.
The Cuchumatan Indians of Guatemala perform a special ceremony called Sealing the Frost after the corn is planted. In an attempt to protect the precious crop against winter's return, they climb a nearby cliff where frost is said to live. The Shaman is lowered on a rope to a crack in the cliff's face which he plasters up to seal in the cold.
The Aztecs of Mexico held the feast of the Hummingbird in honor of warriors who had died in battle or offered their lives in sacrifice. They were thought to live in the sun for four years before returning as hummingbirds.
Hana Matsuri, the birth of Buddha, and the Buddhist Flower festival are celebrated today.

Yes, we do mind! LOL
Good luck. It took me about two weeks to figure out how to make my tag menu work the way I wanted, and I'm still not that happy with it... but site design and html has never been my forte. 
@heidenkind - Your tag menu is what inspired me to try my hand at my own... granted I have to go through about 8 years of posts to properly archive it all...
Meh--I don't have the motivation to retroactively tag my entries. Although I probably should....
