Goodness, Grace! The Tour Manager and I talk often about how his Israel office shuts down for most of a month in the fall for the High Holidays, and then this week for Passover, but I think Japan's got them beat! Susan Helene Gottfried's last blog post..BTT: Springing

Great list! My mom was an air force brat and lived in Japan for about 6 years in the 50's. She has so many great stories to tell...and she remembers Children's day the most (of course!). Kat's last blog post..Thursday Thirteen: Where in the World is Kat?

Gosh, Grace, this is fascinating! Thanks for sharing so much of your wisdom and life. I don’t really know Japan – so it’s delicious to learn about their holidays.

Happy TT!

Nice list. It's no wonder they are so productive. Even though they work hard, at least one holiday a month probably helps the stress. Thanks for visiting my TT! Denise's last blog post..Thursday Thirteen #30

I like the idea of a coming of age day. Nice holiday. The army (at least here in USAREUR) has at least one training holiday a month--if there's a Monday holiday that month, the preceding Friday will be a training holiday, so there's a 4-day weekend. If there's no holiday, like in June or August, there'll just be a random Monday off. We've gotten VERY used to it. Darla's last blog post..TT #96
