Line 20:
* Lucia, 13th December. Sweden, a Protestant country, celebrating the Catholic St. Lucy.
** Finland, because of being occupied by Sweden for something like 700 years, celebrates Lucia too. Not quite as much, but you can still see little girls dressed up as Lucia on the 13th of December.
* The United Kingdom has no national day equivalent to Bastille day or the 4th of July. That has not stopped Hamburg from celebrating [https://web.archive.org/web/20111006025508/http://www.britishday.com/ British Day] every 5th and 6th of September.
** Well, yes, but that dates back to when [[The House of Hanover|Britain and Hanover were ruled by one monarch]], as Hamburg was closely connected to the Kingdom of Hanover. Additionally, Hanover was part of the British Zone of Occupation after [[World War II]].
* In Maine and Massachusetts, anybody will tell you that Patriots' Day is the third Monday of April, commemorating the Battle of Lexington and Concord- you know, the first battle of the American Revolution? Outside of there, people seem to think it's September 11th.
