\"Sibo<\/a><\/p>\n

Last week we talked about names that people have \u2013 but days also have names and I\u2019m not talking about the boring old weekdays or the lovely weekend days either!<\/p>\n

For instance, the 27th<\/sup> April is Freedom Day. It\u2019s a public holiday and I\u2019m sure you were all as glad as I was that we did not have to go to school or work on that day.<\/p>\n

Some public holiday days are always the same \u2013 like Christmas, New Year and Woman\u2019s Day. Easter moves around because it is defined as being the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the vernal equinox (in simple terms – that\u2019s some moon event). Ramadan is the same \u2013 it also moves around.<\/p>\n

Then you get other days that have been declared things like \u201cWorld Wildlife Day\u201d (3 March), \u201cWorld Water Day\u201d (22 March) or \u201cWorld Malaria Day\u201d (25 April) by the United Nations or some other body.\u00a0 There are lots of these days. Just last week we had \u201cEarth Day\u201d (22 April) and we made my book on global warming \u2013 Sibo Makes a Difference \u2013 available on the website<\/a>\u00a0for people to freely read. It\u2019s still there if you want to go and have a look.<\/p>\n

On the 1st<\/sup> of May we have \u201cWorkers Day\u201d. This is a public holiday in South Africa but not necessarily everywhere else in the world.<\/p>\n

These days, if a public holiday falls on a Sunday \u2013 we get the Monday off. Yay!<\/p>\n

There are also a number of other days in May but they are not public holidays. Things like \u201cWorld Press Freedom Day\u201d on the 3rd<\/sup>, \u201cInternational Day of Families\u201d on the 15th<\/sup>, \u201cInternational Day of Biological Diversity\u201d on the 22nd<\/sup> and \u201cWorld No-Tobacco Day\u201d on the 31st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of other day\u2019s in-between too \u2013 but most of us would not easily relate to the topics. If you want to know when and what all the different days in the year are, you can visit this website<\/a> – it lists them all in a really easy way with clickable links.<\/p>\n

Of course the most important day to remember in May is Mother\u2019s Day on the 8th<\/sup>. We all know that our moms are the most special people \u2013 no matter how old we are or they are. Make sure you spoil yours.<\/p>\n

Happy Days!<\/p>\n
