thanks all i need any and all holidays from now till about the 17th june, afyer that everything is out of my control lol and we will be on holiday, pancake tuesday is good one and forgot about chinese newyear will need to see if we can set something up for that,

not sure if we will celebrate st davids day but can always put it out there they tend to do st patricks day because its an excuse to drink lol plus its my birthday


World aids day sadly has been and gone i like the Holocaust Memorial Day idea, because i have never seen this being done before, and its very important i think it should be as important if not more than memorial day for soliders (just my personal view) I wondered if there was a day for victims in the middle east who have been killed due to war etc never seen a day for that either which is a huge same

thank you all for looking and sharing these holidays
