Another Family's Treasure Day
Find one item in your house of good quality you no longer use, or another family would enjoy or need more. It's the end of the year. Let's move millions of items where they can be of better service next year, at a net gain to our environment and a nice boost to our souls.
Regional/Cultural Day
Lao National Day
The anniversary of the proclamation of the Lao People's Democratic Republic in 1975, when the Pathet Lao took power and abolished the monarchy. The day is observed with a military parade, speeches, and the reminder that the revolution was 30 years in the making (1945-1975). The monarchy is gone, the revolution is the founding myth, and the day is both celebration and narrative.
Regional/Cultural Day
Lao National Day Prep
Not a holiday, but the beginning of the preparation for the December 2nd Independence Day celebrations. The schools start rehearsing their marches, the government starts planning the ceremony, and the flags start appearing on the buildings. The preparation is a month-long process, and the result is a celebration that is both official and genuine.
