So guess what? Today is the greatest day ever! It’s a special day reserved to celebrate and commemorate being a kid! What’s so great is that everyone gets to partake in this holiday because everyone is a kid at some point. Sure you’ve got Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, and Hallmark even celebrates Grandparent’s Day. But in order to be able to partake in those holidays you have to procreate so you’re leaving out half the population that can’t procreate or choose not to. With Día del Niños, every kid gets one day out of the year to celebrate how great it is to be young and carefree.
So how do they celebrate? Toys! I guess, if I understood right, all the stores have huge sales on their toys for this day only. I have also heard that the schools do something special like have a bunch of games or activities set up for children to partake in. I asked Flavio how you celebrate this holiday and he said you go for a walk or a “paseo” around the park or the mall. For the rich kids they get “muchas muchas regalos” or many presents. For the poor kids; they get a hug. I have a feeling if this holiday was celebrated in the States, it would be like a second Christmas. Regardless, if it’s a hug or the latest and greatest video game, niños everywhere seem to look forward to this day!
