Children’s Day is an important day of celebration in Thailand. Everyone pauses to think about the future, and those that are the future of the country, children.
There are fun celebrations to take your kids to, many of them free for children, as well as speeches from politicians. Thailand wants to have a country that their children will be able to be successful in and proud of. Children’s Day is a day to look forward to the future, and honor those who will make it great.
For Ellie’s first Children’s Day, we took her to the park and then to Toy’s R Us and bought her a small toy. We then went to dinner at her favorite restaurant in Thailand, Sizzler, where fruit and veggies are plentiful and she can drop as much as she wants and get new for an entire meal.
At church we wanted to honor and bless the children. The service revolved around them with games, clowns, and many object lessons. The service finished with each child pairing up with one adult praying a blessing over them. After service, “Jack” was baptized and each child received a gift. As you might have guessed, no holiday could center on children without having gifts.
Do you think that the United States should have a Children’s Day?
