We in Oz celebrate ANZAC Day (25APR) much like your Memorial Day.

We don't celebrate Halloween ( an old Scots time of horror and few toffee apples) nor do we

celebrate Thanksgiving. We celebrate at the major Christian Holy days and a few holidays

centred on Social and civic themes.

It's amazing how many Aussie kids can tell you who was the first President, but not our

first Prime Minister after Federation.
