Happy National Acadians Day!
As some of you may know, today is National Acadians Day. (I am Acadian.) I figured I would take a minute of my day to share a bit of my culture with my family here at pixies. 
Now, let's all rise for our national anthem:
Ave maris stella,
Dei mater alma
Atque semper virgo,
Felix coeli porta.
Sumens illud Ave
Gabrielis ore,
Funda nos in pace,
Mutans nomen Evae.
(Just the first 2 verses are enough, I think  )
So if you have Acadian ancestry, and even if you don't, bonne Fête des Acadiens!

A very Happy Acadians Day to you. I went to various sites to try and better understand Acadians Day and you may find it interesting that in the U.S., Acadians Day is celebrated in the State of Louisiana (not sure why it's held on a different date):
"Friday, November 24, 2000, is declared Acadian Day in the state of Louisiana. It shall be observed as a legal holiday and a day of rest."

I actually had no clue it was on a diifferent date in Louisiana.... I know that we celebrate it today here because today is the Assumption, and the Virgin Mary is the Acadians' patron saint. Thanks for the info dicksbro!

Hi well yes hope you had a good Acadain day there Pixie and what you had told us about it in chat was something I never knew. I guess I'm to far west here well thanx for sharing it with us..
But knew that a long time ago that a group of French got booted out of Canada and they moved to Louisiana that's where Cajun French came from I have heard in my travels..
That >^,^<
