So I was noticing on my company provided calendar that there are some new holidays that I'd like to begin observing. If for nothing else, I'm sure that there are a few days off that I can take advantage of. So, let's consider some options.
Each year on March 21, I shall consider celebrating the anniversary of Benito Juarez's birthday. Along the same lines, I believe that September 16, or as it shall be known in the future for me, dia de independencia. I think that these are both worth of consideration. Just think, we get the 4th of July off for being the US Independence day, and we're all about diversity in our country, so this seems legit, doesn't it? Let's not forget November 27th of this year. Most people will be passing the turkey and thinking about football. Ah, but not I. All I will have on my mind is Eid al-Adha. What a better way as a precursor to Black Friday. I can't think of a better way to spend my visit with my parents than to have a celebration. Of course we'll have to familiarize ourselves with the Takbir. Although, I'm not sure how Sammie will feel about the tradition of sacrificing your best domestic animal. Hmm...We may have to miss this one unless we can convince someone that the turkey we get from Bi-Lo is our best domestic animal. After all, Sammie doesn't really have a lot of meat on her bones, so I'm not sure this would be an appropriate sacrifice.
December 12 holds a special place in my heart. As I celebrate Our Lady of Guadalupe day, I can't help but embrace the holiday season. It sends my heart asunder.
My ancestors in Myanmar definitely put a large emphasis on the end of October as joy fills the room with the end of Buddist Lent.
Today is a joyous day in the Leardini household as our waiter at Maggiano's reminded me last night that we are in the holiday season, I simply say Happy Alaska day to everyone!
