So I'm learning that it would be pretty cool to be a kid in Korea. Not only do you get to celebrate your birthday and Christmas with gifts and fun, you get your own holiday too, called Children's Day! May 5th is Children's Day in Korea. It started in 1923 by the Korean children's writer Pang Chong-hwan. In a society where parents and elders demand respect, Children's Day was set aside to honor the children. It is often celebrated with family gatherings where children are showered with gifts and play games. Cities often have parades and museums, zoos, and amusement parks offer free admission to children.
I wonder how Sam will be celebrating his holiday? Hopefully he is having a fun time with his foster family!
