Holidays You Don't Have

we dont have thanksgiving here in the Philippines but we have Christmas. Christmas is our biggest holiday here since most of us are catholics who beleive in the birth of Jesus Christ. since the first ber month, which is spetember, people are already preparing. we having countdowns already, christmas tree, lights and so much more. sometimes, we just pass by halloween and just visit our love ones. we also have midnight masses to honor the coming of Jesus and we have the famous foods that are served usually on Christmas only. Christmas is truly the best and most exciting event of the year for all the Filipinos.

We dont celebrate thanksgiving in the UK, but we have something called bonfire night. I dont know if you can call it a holiday, but it stems from a man called Guy Fawkes who tried to assassinate the King of England by blowinng him up with gunpowder so that his next in line would instead be queen. His attempts were in vain though, as he was caught before the explosion happened. He was hung drawn and quartered for his crime. So now, rather sadistically, we burn scarecrows on bonfires and have lots of fireworks every 5th of November to...erm...celebrate the fact that he didnt manage to do what he was trying to do. (As you may have guessed, we're not all that patriotic. Many people here couldn't even tell you when or what St George's day is!)

Hi Ambie I do not think that we have any Holidays that no other Country has to be honest well not that I am aware of anyway So no there isn't any Holidays that we have that no other Country has

The Spring Festival and Mid-autumn Festival are the most important festivals in my country. I think this celebration may be available in some Chinese zones. They are also the official holidays for us. Besides it, we also have some festivals like Lantern Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and so on. They are the traditional Chinese festivals. I love China

hi ambie pam I had expected my son to come today but I guess he has no the phone is ringing so he is coming over. that's wonderful as I was so sad today. I am in the US as you probably know and for me in the situation I am in holidays are sort of hard as I remember all the fun we used to have on Thanksgiving and Christmas too but as long as my son keeps in touch with me its okay. hope some people from other countries will answer as I am not adding anything to your discussion but viisting as I am so lonely. lol not nice to feel sorry for yourself' really it is not.

We don’t have Thanksgiving and the only holiday that I can think of that is unique to Australia is the 26th January which is Australia Day. I think it is about the First Landing in 1788. It is a public holiday every year and there is a huge fireworks display sponsored by one of the radio stations. Everyone gathers on the foreshore and enjoy celebrations and eventually the sky show display.

well as I am in the us holidays are the same as yours. even if some come on differnt day

here in Canada, we also have family day in February and a civic holiday in August as well as our Thanksgiving which is in October.

Hi, Back in my country in Malaysia, there is no ThanksGiving holiday,so definitely tomorrow is not a Holiday for us. Firstly, I wish everyone " Happy Thanksgiving day". We only have Christmas Day and it is coming soon in another month time. For me, no celebration for Christmas..just like a normal day for me to go and this year no holiday plan at all. We are out of budget for holiday for this year.

just like what yanyanyow said, here in the Philippines, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. But we do have festivities for saints. We call it fiesta. It is a day to honor a certain Saint who is guiding a certain town, like feast for San Miguel, Feast for San Lorenzo, and many more. We do prepare much for it. These are the festivals even foreigners would love to see. Let's say for instance the Ati-atihan Festival where people dances in the street with bodies covered with coal, all black! and Maskara Festival where people wear masks in their faces. That's just to name a few.
