Celebrate!

I was just taking a look at some different events going on today, and stumbled across what other countries celebrated today - it's hard to remember that our holidays aren't the same everywhere!

Chaco PeaceParaguay
Independence DayPhilippines
Queen's BirthdayAustralia
Dia dos Namorados (Valentine's Day)Brazil

Kinda funny to see. Interesting - Valentine's Day in Brazil isn't Feb 14th ... so ... I thought that it was supposed to celebrate St. Valentine, whose day is 2-14 ... but ... hm I am perplexed. Any answers?
Well, Happy Birthday to the Queen in Australia... and hurray for the Philippines, let's go set off some fireworks. It's a similiar day in Paraguay - Chaco Peace is basically celebrating the signing of a treaty to end the Chaco War (Chaco being a province of Argentina).
Anyways, just a few tidbits of info for ya.

Celebrate!! (Who cares if it's your country's day?)
