On November 11, we do have this thing called "Wapenstilstand" in Dutch. It's the day where we celebrate the truce of World War I. We get that day off, and since it's on a Tuesday, they also give us the Monday off so we have a long weekend. I don't think people in other countries really celebrate that.

I wish we had Thanksgiving. I really like the idea of getting together with your family and being thankful for the things you have. I especially enjoy holidays in winter or late autumn, when it gets dark early, because it's even nicer to get together. I don't know why I like it better, it just seems more cosy to me.
