Proposed St David's Day bank holiday
So, you know how holidays are days that we get off from work or school so we can have fun and celebrate something special? Well, some people in Wales want to make a new holiday called St. David's Day.
St. David's Day is on March 1st, and it's all about celebrating the patron saint of Wales, St. David. He did lots of kind things for people and taught them to be good to each other, so it's a good reason to celebrate!
If they make St. David's Day a bank holiday, that means everyone would get the day off from work or school, just like they do on Christmas or Thanksgiving. People could have parades, sing songs, wear traditional Welsh clothing, and do lots of other fun things to celebrate.
Some people think it would be a good idea to have this holiday because it would give them a chance to learn more about Welsh history and culture. Plus, it's always nice to have a day off! But other people think it might cost too much money or be too much of a hassle to make a new holiday.
So, in short, some people in Wales want to make a special day to celebrate St. David, and if they do, it could be a day off from work or school for everyone!
