Let's Celebrate! You can do so, by watching or participating in a parade. New York City and many other cities hold Tartan Day parades.You can also listen to Scottish bagpipes. Perhaps the most fun of all, is dressing in a Kilt. (Is it true what they don't wear under there!?)
Did You Know? The United States Declaration of Independence was modelled after the Scottish Declaration of Independence.
History and Origin of "National Tartan Day":
On April 6, 1320, the Scottish Declaration of Independence was signed.
In 1982, then mayor Ed Koch, declared a Tartan Day celebration and parade. This precursor to today's Tartan Day was held on July 1st. This one-time celebration commemorates the date of the repeal of the Act of Proscription in Scotland. This law had prohibited the wearing and use of Tartan patterns and Highland dress!
In 1986 Canada proclaimed April 6th as Tartan Day.
The U.S. Senate passed a resolution on March 20, 1998 proclaiming April 6th to be National tartan Day.
All is Ours Day
Date When Celebrated : Always April 8th
All is Ours Day is is bound to be a spectacular day for...... us.
Think of the concept. Imagine the possibilities. The creator of this day was absolutely brilliant. What a great day this will be.
The creator of this day was absolutely brilliant. Let's dissect the meaning and intent of this great day. We will do so by examining the title of this day, word for word. It begins with the word "all". For such a little word, it's all-inclusive. From a possessive standpoint, therefore, we are talking about anything and everything we want.. The verb "is" is sort, sweet and definite. It leaves no room for doubt or question.
Finally, the creator chose the word "our" rather than the word "mine" This is a vital decision allowing us to completely enjoy today. The greatest events, and the best things in life, are those that are shared. The only thing the creator left out is the definition of who "Ours" represents. That is left up to you.
