I don't have spring break until mid-march haha.
|
Well, as for me...in March I have no days off at all. I have a full month of school next week. ): Hope I survive... I usually do, but this is high school...
|
I think the death rate for "death by too much school" is generally pretty low so you'll probably survive.
|
Depending on when Easter falls, either March or April, we never had a day off. (If Easter fell in March, there would be no days off in April, and if Easter fell in April, there'd be no days off in March.)
|
I think Easter's in early April this year, IIRC. So, spring break may actually be kind of warm for once, yesssss
|
Florida decided that it was going to have a bit of a "cold" spell. "Cold" as in it's not actually cold outside, but it's actually really nice and it's not humid and it's simply lovely weather. I'm going to cry when it leaves.
|
What's a President Day? :\
Hope everyone enjoyed Pancake Day. I didn't because I have no pancakes. :( |
My school has waffles for every meal. Like it's the only round-the-clock breakfast food, they never take the waffle irons away.
|
Easter's on April 8th. I dunno why Easter means time off from school though since Easter's always on a Sunday.
|
Because it's more than Easter, it's also Good Friday/Holy Thursday, at least I think those are the names haha. My school gets off like Thursday, Friday, Monday, and sometimes the Wednesday before.
|
I thought it was called White Thursday? At least that's what we call it here.
Anyway, Konginnedag gets my vote for the weirdest holiday.XD |
We call Ester "Holy Week" and we geet a full week and a day off. That's some hyperreligious heritage I'm not angry about (at least now, because, back in the 70's, cinemas and theatres were closed down for all the week, and only religious shows could be broadcasted on radio and TV... that must have been so painful).
|
Myself, being an American, I'm still confused on some Christian or Catholic holidays we have since I don't really celebrate them. Although, as far as I care, as long as I get days off, I'm cool. :B
|
Here in Ontario (maybe some other places?), we had Family Day yesterday.
Basically a day to... think of something to do in the winter. I don't skate. I don't ski. I don't want to go to an overcrowded museum full of parents trying to think of something to do for the kids on this random day off. It's a new holiday that came about maybe four years ago as a vote-getting measure. I'd have preferred a day off in the summer. |

I don't think I've observed no Meat on Good Friday for years now.
I'm soooo bad. :B |

Wait, you're not supposed to eat meat on Good Friday? Wow, I was totally unaware of that.
Good Friday has now officially moved into the "weird holidays" category. Though we never get off school for it, Halloween remains my favorite holiday. For otaku-related reasons :P |
I like to make a point of eating meat on Good Friday just to rebel against the system :P
|

I suppose my favourite holiday is also Halloween just cause it's all dark and stuff. I've never really done anything that extravagant for it though. |
My dining hall isn't going to serve meat for the rest of Lent. No idea how sad I am. :(
|
Actually, you can eat meat that day as long as you pay money to your local Church to get a special permission. Not that it ever crossed my mind XD
Although Protestantism was created just to fight that, the absurd corruption in the Catholic Church. It's as strong as ever around here. |
lmao, for Hindus we're not supposed to eat meat on ANY Tuesday. At all. And probably some other days but I never follow that.
But I eat it anyways. lol. Other than that in my country we get DOZENS of holidays for festivals, probably cause my country is secular and we have to respect all religions, so yeah, in almost all schools we get holidays for all kinds of festivals. |
My friend's family is Catholic and on Good Friday they always had fish. As if fish wasn't meat.
Reminds me of this. |
Fish is allowed but I forget why haha.
Actually I looked it up and the actual rule is "no meat from warm-blooded animals", so, there you go. XD |
