If you visit a site called www.countmeincalendar.info you can find out all sorts of big and small festivals both religious and secular on any date in the year.

1. It is the General Assembly of the United Nations that designates international years. Some years have more than one designation - 2001, 2002 and 2005 had three each. Currently we are fast approaching the end of 2006, the International Year of Deserts and Desertification. Almost appropriately enough, this seems to have caused a drought in designations, as 2007 has none. However, do not despair, because 2008 is ..... wait for it ..... the International Year of The Potato - I kid you not.

2. If you didn't get enough of it seven years ago, you could always celebrate the millennium again, but this time in October 2007, in Ethiopia.

Apart from Xmas and new Years I think the nearest festival would be Easter.

All I know it will be Easter soon because the eggs will be on sale in the shops, never mind the next holidays being advertised before this one even finished. I have already booked my for next year.
