Was that a tug on our heartstrings or a yank on our logic?

Well, there is such a day as St. George's day in our calendar, but it's not a 'holiday' as such. It's a normal working day and there are no traditional practises which are observed on it. A lot of working people are told they are not allowed to display a St George's Cross flag on their vehicle or work station as it will apparently offend ethnic minorities in our country.
We also have St Andrew's day (for Scotland) St David's day (for Wales) and St Patrick's day (for Ireland).
Obviously, we don't celebrate 4th July, since it is the anniversary of the American's defeating us in the War of Independence, although I can't count how many times I've been asked if we do.
Having said that, 4th July is a very important day for us this year, as it's the day we go for our second scan, and should hopefully find out if Junior-Pucker is a boy or a girl!

Little things I find strange... like today is a holiday for the Queen in Bermuda, but not in England. I'm not sure exactly what the holiday is, just that I learned this through my version of "corporate America".

It's not actually the current Queen's birthday, but one of the earlier models.
Victoria perhaps.
It was a holiday for all Oz except West Oz, I think.

I'm starting to think it’s ALL your fault.  I haven’t seen a lot of posting on here?!?!
Happy Canada Day to all our friends above the 49th. ……….. and especially to Newfoundland, who is having their Memorial Day also.
They have to be the smartest province among our great neighbors. (They threw Steph out, didn’t they? )

Beaumont Hamel/Happy Canada Day
Today is Canada Day but Newfoundlanders tend to be more subdued because we lost a lot of men on July 1, 1916.
In Newfoundland, today is akin to Remembrance Day (but we also celebrate11/11/11).
My province lost 820 men that day. God bless France & Belgium for their respect for that day.

Happy Canada Day and also God bless all those who gave there lives to help secure or preserve liberty.
Hat's off to our Canadian friends.

The Germans took a human toll that day but "with chins tucked down as if walking into a blizzard" the Newfs helped put a dent into 'er.
