Ola Pessoas!
I just realized that in Portugal you don't celebrate namedays!!!!!
CRAZYYYY
The whole MC thought basically this: "omfg...wtf.." But haha....now they LOVE the concept.
So I just introduce it to YOU:
In the calendar every day is associated with one or more first name (based on the Christian saints - but now its not connected anymore) and on that day we celebrate that name, so every person who has that name!
I have collected some materials as well, just to believe!! We celebrate it almost in whole Europe!
I would like to share you some thoughts.
We in the MC decided to celebrate namedays from now on! (actually we didn't but my nameday is approaching :P so I hope they don't mind :D) We also selected the corresponding Hungarian names!
Ana Rita -- Rita, 22nd of May
Carolina -- Karolina, 2nd of February
Catarina -- Katalin, 30th of April or 25th of November (yes we have more :D)
Constanca -- Konstantina, 19th of September
André -- András, 30th of November
Félix -- András (but actually we have a name Félix :P), 30th of November or 9th of June
Péter -- Péter, 29th of June
So as you can see my nameday is rapidly approaching!!! Of course you need information how to prepare:
"Name days (in Hungarian: névnap) in Hungary are very popular, often as much as a person's actual birthday" "A bottle of alcohol is a common gift for men on their name day" ;) (I hope you get that hint, *khmm lot of beer*)
(Honestly nameday is not almost as important as birthday, but we DO celebrate it and get presents, cakes etc.. as well!)
So, see you at 29th of June ;)
Waiting for YOUR comments!
beijinhos,
Tutti Frutti MC Love
