National Youth Day Albania is observed on December 8. It honors the student protests against Enver Hoxha’s brutal dictatorship in the early 1990s. Students from what was then Enver Hoxha University, nowadays the University of Tirana, marched through the city streets, demanding political reform. The march began on December 8, 1990, but by December 11, the number of protesters had risen to 3,000, forcing Hoxha’s predecessor, Mr. Ramiz Alia, to meet with the students to quell the unrest.

National Twilighters Day
National Twilighters Day is celebrated on September 13 in the town of Forks, Washington. Yet while this holiday is native to Forks, it represents a much more global, cultural phenomenon that resulted from Stephanie Meyer’s “Twilight” book series. Interestingly, when Meyer published the “Twilight” series, the book only gathered fans among a teenage audience. But after Summit Productions obtained the rights to the books, they were converted to movies which became very successful and led to an unexpected increase in tourism to Forks, the setting of the movie. The locals welcome fans from around the world every year and host exciting tours around town that explore the locations Meyer faithfully described in her books.
