Hook, line and sinker.<BR/><BR/>d rex: interesting comment.<BR/><BR/>gw: lots of holidays.<BR/><BR/>quasar: My point was that "New Year's Eve or New Year's Day is not only an American holiday". Just because the holiday was started somewhere else does not mean that it is not an American holiday. Which was my point with Christmas. or whatever I was saying.<BR/><BR/>prata: isn't Chinese New Year normally in late January, early February?<BR/><BR/>stacey: amen!Leesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552562808209927463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1161351631105353272006-10-20T08:40:00.000-05:002006-10-20T08:40:00.000-05:00I wish I could get some of those days off.

Security Council you figured you'd show your support and request the day off. If that doesn't work try pushing for Belgrade Day (Serbia & Montenegro), Kenyatta Day (Kenya) or Birth of the Bab (Baha'i).

Even though Thanksgiving (Celebrate the death of Native Americans day...) falls at a different time within the month every year.<BR/><BR/>Don't the Jewish people/faith follow a Lunar Calendar? I think much of Eastern Civilization does (I've not looked) and Western Civilization follows the Gregorian Calendar (little hazy..I am too lazy to go look lol)Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114220019018827843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1161339580635637632006-10-20T05:19:00.000-05:002006-10-20T05:19:00.000-05:00Hi Leesa, New Year's Eve or New Year's Day is not ...Hi Leesa, New Year's Eve or New Year's Day is not only an American holiday<BR/><BR/>Judaism just had New Year's Day<BR/>which almost coincided with<BR/>The Chinese New Year's Day<BR/>periodically coincides with<BR/>the Muslim's New Year's Day<BR/>and again periodically coincides<BR/>with the Christian New Year's Day.<BR/><BR/>Calendars are Calendars<BR/>computers work on Calendars<BR/>they are built on rotations round the Sun, and they determine how old we are ...<BR/><BR/>instead of saying you are <BR/>thirty something ... <BR/>or forty something ...<BR/>you could simply say you've been around the Sun, such many times.<BR/><BR/>Hope You Are Having Fun<BR/>Wondering how far you've gone<BR/>coincidence, synchronicity Celtic Myth, or reading (skimming) further and deeper into past posts?QUASAR9https://www.blogger.com/profile/00593390598251093182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1161305100202731372006-10-19T19:45:00.000-05:002006-10-19T19:45:00.000-05:00Leesa, You had a busy day with appointments, bu...Leesa,<BR/> You had a busy day with appointments, but you are alllll done with that for today now and can sit back and relax.<BR/>Let's just call this evening a <BR/> <BR/>"Done with apointments Holiday"Blog hoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089898091995628787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1161296860757355812006-10-19T17:27:00.000-05:002006-10-19T17:27:00.000-05:00Thanks to manifest destiny, an American holiday is...Thanks to manifest destiny, an American holiday is, by default, a world wide holiday.Dwardisimo Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546721557353172762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1161289602071482382006-10-19T15:26:00.000-05:002006-10-19T15:26:00.000-05:00I've never thought of New Years or Easter as Ameri...I've never thought of New Years or Easter as American holidays since they're based on occurances that are celebrated world wide. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and you can <B>always</B> trust me. :)kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13998865477080265039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16163858.post-1161285459041950892006-10-19T14:17:00.000-05:002006-10-19T14:17:00.000-05:00Ah yes, another learning experience.
