Re: Celebrating in my country.

It's also Shichi Go San in Japan today (I used to live in Japan). It's a childrens' festival for girls (age 3 & 7) and boys (age 3 & 5).

Well, have a good Aeed/Aidilfitri/Shichi Go San!

Re: Celebrating in my country.

Oh... He said "especially for children" so, knowing that Japan had a childrens' holiday on exactly the same day, I got the idea that there were distantly related children-themed holidays on Nov-15th in different Eastern cultures.

FaRe-Ed, you're right though--I just looked it up. Aeed marks the end of Ramadan so the date changes each year... it appears to be just a coincidence that the day also fell on Shichi Go San this year.
