Children's Day When : If you ever want to get confused about when a holiday is held, this is the one. We've done extensive research, and what we have found is there is really a number of Children's Day observances around the world. Here is a recap of what we've found, with the most common listed first: Universal Children's Day- Observed on November 20th each year. In 1954, the UN General Assembly recommended that all countries should establish a Universal Children's Day on an "appropriate" day. We are not sure, but perhaps each country did.....at various different dates during the year. The resolution was adopted on November 20, 1954. International Children's Day- The second Sunday in December. This is a joint initiative between UNICEF and the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. It's a day when broadcasters "tune in to kids". World Children's Day- Always November 20th. This is a day McDonald's uses as a fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities. The first official WCD was held on November 20th, 2002 and was celebrated around the world as a way to celebrate children and benefit RMHC chapters around the world. This now annual celebration is officially held on November 20th each year, however fundraising opportunities often extend beyond the day. Children's Day in Japan- This is a national holiday in Japan celebrated on May 5th. Started in 1948, Children's Day is a festive day to celebrate your child's life. The holiday is believed to have begun in china where they would hang medicinal herbs to ward off childhood diseases. In Japan it is often celebrated by giving children kites and hanging streamers. In Japan, the Children's Festival was originally called the "Boy's Festival" while the girls had the "Doll Festival". Children's Day in other countries is celebrated in other countries, often on different dates and with varying customs.

LOL every day at my house is National Children's Day! The camo and the size of GZ might make this one a tough find, but our eagle eyes prevailed.

Oh my, where to begin. I try not to do cut and paste logs, but I didn't take the best notes today and we hit a ton of caches today. It's official, peacelovepi and I are working on the 360 degrees of Colorado challenge and I'm racing to get to 3000 finds. We came out to get some rays around the airport today. The weather didn't look like it was going to be bad, but we both underestimated the power of the wind. And the tumbleweeds. We did some power trailing, she was the driver and I was the runner. LOL I got absolutely accosted by tumbleweeds today - at multiple stops! I even had thorns in my pockets by the end of our run! Between the chill and the wind, logs were signed as "la pi" and they were usually signed wherever we could get to easiest/first. I thought we were going to cache all day, but by the time we got to the end of the listed caches here we were ready to call it a day. A big thank you to all the COs for the smileys and the 360 degree rays! This one was find #2974 for me.
