Many holidays are linked to faiths and religions (see etymology above). Christian holidays are defined as part of the liturgical year. The Orthodox Christian and Western-Roman Catholic patronal feast day or 'name day' are celebrated in each place's patron saint's day, according to the Calendar of saints. In Islam, the largest holidays are Eid ul-Fitr (immediately after Ramadan) and Eid al-Adha (at the end of the Hajj). Hindus, Jains and Sikhs observe several holidays, one of the largest being Diwali (Festival of Light). Japanese holidays contain references to several different faiths and beliefs. Celtic, Norse, and Neopagan holidays follow the order of the Wheel of the Year. Some are closely linked to Swedish festivities. The Bahá'í Faith observes holidays as defined by the Bahá'í calendar. Jews have two holiday seasons: the Spring Feasts of Pesach (Passover) and Shavuot (Weeks, called Pentecost in Greek); and the Fall Feasts of Rosh Hashanah (Head of the Year), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), Sukkot (Tabernacles), and Shemini Atzeret (Eighth Day of Assembly).
A Holiday is a day designated as having special significance for which individuals, a government, or a religious group have deemed that observation is warranted. It is generally an official (more common) or unofficial observance of religious, national, or cultural significance, often accompanied by celebrations or festivities.
The word holiday derived from the notion of "Holy Day", and gradually evolved to its current form.
The word holiday comes from the Old English word haligdæg. The word originally referred only to special religious days. In modern use, it means any special day of rest or relaxation, as opposed to normal days away from work or school.
When you have a special event or new member of the family, you have so many precious photos that you would like to see every day. It's also fun to share those photos with family members and friends. There is no reason to leave those wonderful photos in a box or album so when it is time for gift giving, whether it is a thank you gift or holiday gift you can share these photos in a way that lets family and friends look at them every day.
Photo calendars make great photo gifts and let you share special memories and moments with friends and family. No need to settle for ordinary calendars.
Here are some tips to create a photo calendar to share your special photos.
Tip 1: Select your favorite photos
Find the heartwarming photos that share the essence of the moment. If it is hard to choose put them all out and gradually eliminate photos until you have a selection of the very best.
Tip 2: Select the order of the photos for your calendar
Choose a photo for each month. You may want to choose a photo to match the season. If the photos are of a young child choosing a photo as they grow is always a great option. With good planning you can dress them in a holiday for each month and have lots of fun with the photo calendar.
Tip 3: Select the calendar design and layout
You can choose a 12 month or 18 month calendar and then choose your colors and theme. Have fun and create a very special gift for yourself or for your family and friends.
