What about trying to put all the info together?
Could we try to gather all the info over the next 12 months, so as to be able to edit and post it somewhere for good for the next years.
We could have a thread for every month ( maybe not all 12 months right now, but we could start with September, October, November) in which people could volunteer specific information about a special day in that month...

Come to Think of it, I'm going to put up posts and see how it goes...

Hi, I think this is a great idea! I'd be happy to help in any way I can. I'll keep a look out for that post

Excellent idea. I don't have any extra dates to add, except for one LOL
My 30th Wedding Anniversary is in October, 28th to be precise. I think that should definitely go in. Don't you LOL?

Hello this is a great idea...so in Italy there's Christmas on 25th December and The Bafana's Day on 6th Juanary, when we exchange presents and chocolates in a big sock..

So around April there's the Easter and it's a good idea to put a personal and small present in the classic egg of chocolate.

Then we celebrate the Mother's Day, the women's day, the dad's day... and in some parts of the country we exchange presents in the name day: the day of the Holy with the same name of us.

Thank you, lilyhandmade!
Valentine's Day coming up soon, next month - February 14th?
In Brazil we have it on June 12th.
Anymore?

So did this calendar get made? :)
Its a great idea btw.

19 March: Father's Day (Día del padre) in Spain.

Also in Bolivia, Honduras, Italy (Festa del Papà), Andorra and Portugal

The first Sunday of May is the Mum's day in Spain.

When is mother's day in France and in Germany? I believe it is in May?

In France, it's usually the last Sunday in May, but this year, it's the first Sunday in June, so next Sunday...

Actually......Sinterklaas in the Netherlands is december 5th.
And we do have a animalsday at october 4th.
And now I see that this was al posted a year ago......
A shame because it's a nice thing.
