Will you be celebrating Children's Day next month? Children's Day, a national holiday in Korea, is celebrated on May 5. Children's Day is like Christmas over there, as children are given gifts and treated to a day of fun to places like amusement parks, zoos, museums, festivals and the like . The day was originally created by Children's author, Pang Jeong Hwan, as a way to honor children as he believed they are the future of the nation.

In honor of this day, we will be giving away 5 calendars! To enter, all you have to do is "like" our post on Facebook regarding the giveaway. If you don't have a Facebook account, you can comment on our blog saying you "like the contest."

Five Winners will be randomly chosen on Wednesday, April 25, 2012.

Happy Children's Day!

May 5 is the official Korean holiday for children. It is customary for parents to take out their children to a day of fun, like a picnic, museum or amusement park. Children also receive gifts from their parents and grandparents. Although this holiday is not really celebrated here in the US, I know there are some of you who will try to do something extra special for their child today.

My children know its Children's Day today because their grandparents (1st generation KA) called to wish them a "Happy Children's Day" and also gave them a gift. Is anyone celebrating Children's Day today? If so, we would love to hear about it! Please email us at info@littleseouls.com.
