Syttende Mai

Summary: This article talks about how today is Syttende Mai which is their form of celebration to celebrate their countries independence day. Most would say that today is the greatest spring festival. The article talks about the events that are going to take place throughout the day. The events include lots of games, arts & crafts, and parades. They love this day so much because its important in history because they got their constitution and independence from the vikings.

My Thoughts: I think it's important for each country to all share a day like this because most holidays are for religion and it's always nice when the whole country comes out to celebrate the same thing. Everyone gets to play games and be happy together. I know that i always have during the 4th of July so they probably have lots of fun during their independence day.
