I have always found February to be the longest moth of the year. Even though there are only 28 days in February. It’s the coldest, snowiest month of the year. The time of the year that winter feels like it’s never going to end and everyone is very tired. This year Ontario introduced a new statutory holiday on February 18th 2008 called Family Day. Everything was closed including the malls. The kids were off school and we were off work. It has made such a difference to the month, just to know that we get an extra day’s break to break up the long cold month. We had a wonderful relaxing family day together. We played some board games with the kids and then watched a family movie. It was a wonderful day and I am so grateful that the Ontario government has introduced family day.

Family Day! Always love it. Its amazing how supportive Ontario is about this.
Hummmp…when will that happen in Singapore?!
I really hope that one day it does happen in Singapore!
A good thing to do if it is raining on your next family day is to look back on one of your special times together. Talk about what you did, how you felt, what you remember form the day. Make pictures, collages and photo stories and exhibit your treasured memories in a special place.
See how often you smile as you pass by that ‘exhibition’.

Sounds nice. We do a lot of family things together and living in a winter climate we try and make the most of things regardless of the weather.
Brrrr! How cold is your cold climate?
Living in Canada, the winters can get pretty brutal sometimeswith high wind chills but seen as we love everything else about Canada, we let go the bad weather and make the most of it.
Here in florida, February is actually the best month. I wish it could be longer. Some people even spend their time on the beach during this time.
i like family day very much!!
