I'm from Germany where it's customary to invite people round for the afternoon of the first school day, and/or to go out for a meal at night. Also, in Germany every child receives a large cone-shaped thing made out of cardboard which is filled to the brim with presents and sweets.\link{http://images.google.de/imgres?imgurl=www.spielhandlung.de/assets/big/Spiegelb8706.jpg&imgrefurl=www.spielhandlung.de/pd-1443768290.htm%3FcategoryId%3D152&h=300&w=300&sz=9&tbnid=8ZvbQvmNfE8J:&tbnh=111&tbnw=111&hl=de&start=8&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dschultuete%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Dde%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG \it looks like this}
I brought one back from Germany and have bought stuff today to fill it with. Spent a fortune!
Is it customary in this country to mark the day in any way?
We will probably take the dd's to Pizzahut on dd1's first day at school as well.
