They celebrate Valentine's Day in Egypt too but I think it's on a different day than ours. Maybe it depends on when the feast of St. Valentine is according to the Copts vs. when it is for the Roman Catholics? Anyway it's a widely celebrated holiday there. I dont' think they do Halloween though.

They have all of the holidays (including western ones) in Jordan, but with the exceptions of the Eids, they are not celebrated as much... my husband says the stuff goes out for them pretty close to the actual date, maybe just a few days before.

None of my posts have ever been helpful. Be forewarned.

In Egypt this year (2007)...

Valentines day was on 14 Feb, in keeping with the rest of the world.

Mothers day came 3 days after the Christian celebration of Mothering Sunday

Halloween is not celebrated in Egypt.

I would like to know why Americans make so much of it.

As it is a Pagan Festival ..... :wacko:

Well for us it's just about kids getting candy and being able to put a costume on. We don't actually celebrate ghosts and the like. I think the "meaning" of halloween got lost in the message and now people just see it as a fun time for kids. (thought it's not so fun for adults when you're trying to plow through Salem traffic during that week :wacko: )
