Yes Wales is OUR :-)

We don't have any other celebrations days that are strictly Welsh actually,
Of course there's England's St George's day in April, St Andrew of Scotland's 
day in November, Burns night (?October),  Guy Fawkes night (5th November),  
Nothing else in March though that I know of.

On St David's day also, all the little kids (up to about 11 years old) go to 
school in National Dress (mostly the little girls), and have class pictures 
taken in costume.  The local paper is always full of the pictures from each 
school and village.  And usually classes are suspended and instead each 
school holds a celebration and/or a mini-Eisteddfod for the day.  You still 
have to go to work if you're a grown up though. ;-)

We do have a "Hello World Children of Wales Calling" day on the radio on 
February, but I don't suppose anyone knows about that either!

We must be doing something wrong somewhere! ;-)
