Yeah, I was surprised to hear that as well.
I was like..Family Day?

No one at my house will be home on that day though, so its not much of a family day. Oh well, I get to run the house that day I guess.

Well Scotland has Robbie Burn's day in which we celebrate our most famous poet by eating his favourite meal - the mangled innards of a sheep wrapped up in a sheep's stomach a.k.a. Haggis!

Some adopted kids celebrate the day they arrived...that's utterly pointless in my opinion.

I knew a kid who had conception day...yeah...

Is that some sort of Valleys tradition? I've never dressed like that in my life, and I don't know anyone who has. Thankfully.
