International
Holidays

It’s holiday-o’clock somewhere — international holidays give us a reason to not only celebrate daily, but also to learn more about different cultures, regions, and countries other than our own. From Chinese New Year beginning on the new moon somewhere between January 21 and February 20 to German World Children’s Day on September 20, international holidays keep us cultured and celebrating all year long.
