yes! a FAIR TAX would be perfect, i really like how it would only be on NEW things we purchase...it would make a lot of sense to re-use and re-sell more items instead of pumping more junk into the landfills. |

Good question, I'm not sure if he's in politics anymore, he used to be very vociferous but I never hear anything about him anymore. |

Sheftali obviously stirred up a slight hornet's nest when mentioning the Fair Tax. I shall continue to push the idea in my own small way, as I believe it's an idea that could change any country for the better. |

It's 6th of January.We are supposed to go out in the street and find dozens of children riding their new bikes, scooters or playing with their new toys or wearing their new soccer football team jerseys..... but lo and behold..... no, no, no..... the city is empty. People have all gone out of town to the seaside resorts. |

Do the kids get presents from Santa on Christmas day too? If so then they make out like bandits! |

Kids and grown=ups get presents for Christmas too but maybe not absolutely everybody. Also I suppose that if "Santa and the Magi" want to spend a certain amount of money, they split it so that the kids get gifts on both dates.... but the 6th of January is the day kids get most of the toys. |

Many adults get presents on the 6th of January too. That depends on the family.... but children SURELY DO. |

In Germany (well Bavaria at least) the big day for exchanging presents is 6th January. From what I was told by my neighbours there, they don't exchange presents on Christmas day, but on the day the three Magi brought gifts. |

Isn't it wonderful to get to know different customs all over the world? Think Draw also helps us in that. How would I ever have known about Bavaria otherwise? Thanks Login. |

This picture tries to show CANDOMBE, one of the genres of Uruguayan carnival. The music is exclusively DRUMS of 3 different sizes with dozens of drummers. Candombe began among descendents of African slaves but is now enjoyed by many people. |

Maybe TDers from different countries could say if people work during Easter in their countries . Or maybe it's a holiday. |

My Basque friends always have fish for Easter, so I don't think that is just a Uruguayan tradition, however, most people I know have Ham it seems. I like fish way better than ham. |

I used to live in a house that had crocuses and irises all around it. It really felt like spring when they would start showing up. |

Easter is a holiday in UK and many people go away for the Easter period, either visiting friends and relatives or simply going somewhere pleasant. We stayed home and enjoyed a welcome visit from our son and his partner. |

Hey polenta this may be a little late. Here in Alabama Easter is a holiday. Usually everyone has Good Friday off and on Easter Sunday after church you get together with family for Easter dinner. |
