Minor Holiday Thread

[Shemtov]

Some Holidays are big enough to merit thrier own thread, like Christmas, Kwanzaa or Chanukah. Some holidays are so little known that they don't deserve their own thread. So put all Random Little-known Cultural, national, or religous holidays here, Whether it be National Internet Day, Vesak, St. George's day, Tu b'shavat, or Día del Trabajo, post it here.

Tonight is the begining of a week-long Jewish Holiday known as Sukkos (tabernacles). happy Tabernacles to any jew on the boards!

If you're thinking of the Confederacy of Independent Systems from Star Wars then you'd be wrong.

May 24th is Victoria Day in Canada, but we always celebrate on the Monday following the day (if it doesn't fall on a Monday). We call it the "May Two Four" weekend, and traditionally Canadians buy at least one "Two Four" of beer (each) and shoot off fireworks.
