Remembrance Day

I forgot to write about Thanksgiving and Halloween so just in case I forget Remembrance Day, I'll do it early. Have you ever wondered why we celebrate Remembrance Day? Do you know what this holiday even is? Read right on to find out everything about Remembrance Day!

First of all, you should know that Remembrance Day is a solemn holiday. It isn't a happy day like Christmas where you deck the halls with boughs of holly. On Remembrance Day, we take the time to remember all the soldiers who fought in the war for us and gave us the freedom and peace we have today. Some died and that is why it is so sad and quiet. To remember them, we usually have a moment of silence. This is when everyone simply stops what they are doing and takes the moment of silence to remember the brave soldiers. Something else we do is wear a poppy which is a red flower with a black center. You may have wreaths with poppies on your door. The Dove symbolizes peace and usually we use them for decorations as well. Something Canada also does on Remembrance Day is we have parades. These are all things we do to celebrate Remembrance Day. 

REMEMBRANCE DAY IS COMING UP ON NOVEMBER 11TH 2014! PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO REMEMBER THE COURAGEOUS SOLDIERS THAT DIED FOR US!
