In Brazil,
Children's Day(dia das criancas) is celebrated on October 12, coinciding
with Our
Lady of Aparecida's day, the country's Patron Saint, which
is a national holiday. Children throughout Brazil look forward to this day all
year, as it is the (another) day they get to unwrap gifts from their parents.
In several places in Brazil Children's Day is a bigger event than
Christmas.
I am telling you, you already read my post on kids birthday
parties, but kids also get Children's Day!
What a deal! This is a national holiday so it's a long three
day weekend. The beaches will be packed and the kids will be getting
gifts!
From
what I understand there will be some parades and parties celebrating Children's
Day and we are all supposed to give a gift to the kids. It's kind of like
Mother's and Father's Day except it's the kids special day. Interesting
huh?
What did you do for Children's Day?
