And I certainly oouldn't single out ONE for celebration. Perhaps celebrate our history that allows the election of a president and all that that means....Carolina HeartStringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292841944812910360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-50717582426242928552013-02-18T21:17:36.624-05:002013-02-18T21:17:36.624-05:00No worries - no calendar changes since 1752 (when ...No worries - no calendar changes since 1752 (when the change from Julian to Gregorian took place) and none scheduled that I know of. I'm confused a lot too - if I ever retire I will never know the day of the week, either! Sorry to hear they are playing with holidays in Europe, too. I was especially saddened by Veterans Day (what the UK calls Armistice Day) being moved from November 11. That date had so much meaning!bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-69258233479074723732013-02-18T21:11:34.821-05:002013-02-18T21:11:34.821-05:00Thank you!

I am glad if I can make history interesting. To me, the story of humanity is fascinating.bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-71407010741800173412013-02-18T19:38:47.306-05:002013-02-18T19:38:47.306-05:00Um Happy do dah's LOL.

Well that has got me completely confused (doesn't take a lot) I was going to say oh please don't talk about a different calender but ya know what - I don't think it would make any difference to me - I rarely know what day it is and often confused about the month haha!<br />I Loved your post it made me smile.<br />I live in France at the mo and Greece before that so been away form my UK home for more than a few years - I do get confused when i hear they have changed the name of holidays, unfortunately it is mostly political - I don't like that!<br />I don't like that i can't say 'Happy Christmas' anymore for fear of offending someone else's religious beliefs????Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16427304382854297534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-33811031727613420072013-02-18T18:09:39.516-05:002013-02-18T18:09:39.516-05:00Very interesting.

And to think about them changing our calendar today takes too many brain cells to comprehend. Great Job!<br />Susie Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358772145047518710noreply@blogger.com
