Sweden's National day and NZ Queens Birthday on Monday

We all have a good reason to celebrate this weekend: Sweden's National day and NZ Queens Birthday this Monday!


The National Day of Sweden (Sveriges nationaldag) is a national holiday observed in Sweden on June 6 every year. The day was made into a national day by Riksdagen, the Swedish parliament, in 1983. Previously it was commemorated as svenska flaggans dag, Swedish flag day. (for more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Day_of_Sweden)

On Monday the 6th, New Zealand celebrates Queens Birthday. In New Zealand, the holiday is the first Monday in June every year: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen's_Official_Birthday

Have a nice weekend !
