On NEW YEAR'S EVE we are with our families. Just before midnight we go outside and start the countdown. At midnight the sky is lit by colourful fireworks. January 1st and 2nd are national holidays so we don't have school. We visit relatives and friend to wish them a good year.
In February we have a CARNIVAL. We dress up in costumes and go from house to house and sing songs. The biggest carnival is in Cerknica. There the costumes burn and bury the wicked witch Uršula.
At EASTER we make Easter eggs and play different games. On Easter Monday there is a big motorcycle blessing in Mirna Peč. People from all over Slovenia come to wish the motorcyclists a safe journey.
May 1st is MAY DAY. We celebrate the workers. We have a national holiday and in the evening we lit bonfires. The biggest is at Boštanj.
In June we have the INDEPENDENCE DAY. On this day we remember and give thanks to June 25th 1991, when Slovenia became an independent country. The biggest celebration is held in Ljubljana.
On November 1st, on ALL SAINTS DAY, we remember the dead. We all go to the graveyards of our relatives and friends. We bring them candles and flowers.
In the beginning of December we have SAINT NICOLAS DAY. Children get present from him.
