So what's the next holiday coming up?(Not Halloween)

No! not Halloween, at least not yet. We still have a very important(for me anyways) holiday coming up before Halloween! Labor day? nope(even though that is before Halloween also). I'm talking about September 16th! The day Mexico gained independence from Spain.

At the college where I work, we do have a Mexican Independence Day celebration in September.

If I can get away with it, I'll light off some fireworks in honor of it.

Labor day is this week end :mrgreen:
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

Tuesday is Autumn Equinox, aka Mabon. It's a day of thanks, the 2nd harvest day before Samhain. Got some baking to do today for our feast :)

I can think of a few holidays :)
- International ADD Awareness Day
- Thanksgiving (for us Canadian folk)
- Rosh Hashanah
- Yom Kippur
I'm not sure if the last two are 'holidays' cause I'm not Jewish, but they sound like it to me!

You know, quickly. here's a thought.... Pirates have their "Talk Like A Pirate Day", shouldn't there be a "Talk Like A Vampire Day"? .... Or is that Halloween ... mwahaha!
