Happy Whatever!
My grandmother gave me a beautiful weekly desk calendar that features photos of Italy. Italy is high up on my list of places to travel to before I kick the proverbial bucket. Anywho, this calendar is very extensive with its listing of various holidays in differing countries. Today is the Feast of the Epiphany and also Three Kings' Day. Monday is Eid Al Adha (which begins at sundown) and also Coming of Age Day in Japan. Those horny Japanese boys must love Coming of Age Day. You know, unless of course it consists of watching John Hughes movies. Do the brat pack movies qualify as 'coming of age'?
Anyway, I'm pleased that I'll now be well informed of the holidays of countries (please note the abbreviations used by the calendar) like South Africa (ZAF), Switzerland (CHE), and the whole of the Northern Hemisphere (N Hem). I guess there are some holidays when the Southern Hemisphere (S Hem) can't be bothered.

the calendars that they give us in the office have really random holidays on them as well... I too have Eid al Adha on my calendar, but no coming of age day. But please note that the First of Muharram is on the 30th of this month.
Happy Festivus, everybody!
Ahhh... my pug-a-day calendar has coming of age day on it... we will have to remember to send out best wishes to eachother on all these crazy days!
