Relaxing Day, Thanks God It's Queen's Day!

I woke up at 8 o'clock! Very late in fact. My body clock is set at 4am to 5am. Yesterday, I wanted tohave someactivities today but I had tocancel them for some reason and I just want to relax today. Maybe later I go roller skating or go in open market but it still depends upon the weather. No work for today! Yes, it is holiday because it is Koninginnedag herein the Netherlands. What is Koninginnedag?

"Koninginnedag or Queen's Day is a national holiday in the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles, and Aruba on 30 April or on 29 April if the 30th is a Sunday. Queen's Day celebrates the birthday of the Queen of the Netherlands and is supposed to be a day of national unity and "togetherness" (Dutch: saamhorigheid). The tradition started on 31 August 1885, on the birthday of Princess Wilhelmina, later Queen Wilhelmina. Since 1949, after the ascension of Queen Juliana, Queen's Day is Queen Juliana's birthday on 30 April. Although Queen Beatrix's birthday is on 31 January, she officially celebrates her birthday on 30 April." Wikipedia
