alexandralHappy International Women's Day!
It is not celebrated much in UK, but this holiday is a very popular one in Russia and it is a calendar holiday there. In Russia it is a mixture of Valentine's day and Mother's day plus THE DAY OF ALL WOMEN WHATSOEVER.
This is why I personally like it more then Valentine's day and Mother's day : because NOT everybody has partners, and not everybody has children , but it is so lovely to have a day just FOR THE GIRLS , when anybody ( family, work colleagues, friends) can give a card or a present or just say "Happy Women's Day" and give their love to any females, no matter what age or marriage status or anything..

Date: 2006-03-08 05:52 pm (UTC)I got three roses just randomly going about my business today. Of course, one is pink, and one is red-and-orange, and one is a creamy white, and I can't have them in the same vase for fear my retinas will suffer permanent damage from the clashing colors. But still!
