Deliberatly obscure title because am starting to think that lots of westerners don’t know the significance of the date. ( I don’t want give out clues) and want to know who knows the significance of the date
But if you do know, what do you gift and to whom? For me its always flowers to all my friends and flowers and pearls ( earings brooch necklace) to my closer friends. Mama is dead so I can’t gift her anything. My sisters dont understand this holiday
I don’t have a clue what it is.
Well, I just Googled, and now I do, I guess. But no.
I did when I lived in Cameroon, where it’s probably the biggest event in the year. Every year the government produces special fabric, and anyone who can afford to purchases it and has a tailor see it in some imaginative way. On the day itself, there is a big hometown parade, smaller celebrations by social organizations, traditional performances and dancing all night. It’s a blast.
No, but I do celebrate March 14th.
No clue.
Searched on it, found out, don’t really care to celebrate it.
Nope. I’m in the dark on this one.
Don’t forget March 15th! Et tu, Brute?
Jim Rice’s birthday? No, I’m a Yankee fan.
I first come across it when I worked in Azerbaijan. Was a little perplexed about dudes giving random females roses on the street, equally puzzled seeing waitresses n , well in fact every lady dressed up to the max
I have an ex gf ,well lady with whom I keep in contact, in the former USSR, she will forgive my bad memory of everything excepting 8th March.
March 1 was World Telemark Day, so I’ve got that going for me.
April 20 is a big day for me, but never heard of March 8.
You know who else loved pot?
Me too. Not only is it Einstein’s birthday, it is also my anniversary. Coming up on #51.
Especially this year.
That’s when everybody celebrates Kesha’s birthday.
I celebrate every March 8th. It only comes once a year, after all.
Pol?

I celebrate none of the above.
I have no idea what March 8 is about.
I do celebrate the important stuff:
Disappearance of MH370 is the first thing that comes to mind about March 8. (not a celebration, obviously)
I have a number of Eastern European friends, so I DO know what holiday this is. It’s nice that it has survived, even though the political regime that gave birth to it is gone.
No, I celebrate 7th March because it’s my birthday.
