Should St George's Day and St David's Day be National Holidays?As a child in Wales we always had the eisteddfod in the morning and then we went home for half day. I remember so well walking home in my Welsh costume with the snow sticking to the front of my Welsh hat and the boys playing sword fights. Note that it was not then necessary for our parents to collect us from school. we all just walked home together with no threat of abduction, etc. Happy days. And when I went to secondary school we all attended holy communion in the morning of Ascension day, had instruction from the local vicar and then went home for half day holiday. We must not forget the original meaning of holiday (holy day).
