Holidays in June
- Is Your Birthday in June?
Each day of the month is special somewhere in the world. You can have more fun on your birthday if you find out what special holiday falls on that day. The only thing you need to remember is that the calendar in some countries is based on the lunar calendar, which measures the year by how many days it takes for the moon to circle around the earth (29 days). So if on your calendar the year is based on the sun or on the moon, the holidays are going to change. The other thing you can look for is whether the country is located in the northern hemisphere or the southern hemisphere. The seasons are opposite to one another. If you were born in June in the northern hemisphere, Eurasia, North America, you are a summer kid, but if the holiday that matches your birthday is located in the southern part of Africa or South America, then you are a winter kid.
 So, if your birthday is in June, look at the calendar of holidays in the world and see which one matches your birthday. Then you can click on that day and see whats happening in your birthday. You can then see how special your birthday is, because there are so many people celebrating their holiday and your birthday at the same time.
Maybe this holiday is celebrated in your town too. Are there special dances, music, or other performances that is unique to this day? Has there been any stamp issued for this occasion? Click on and have a good time, and if this particular day is your birthday, Happy Birthday to You!
