CMs - what festivals/religious days do you celebrate?

[lollipopmother]

I'm doing my long term planning and except for Chinese New Year I've not put a single non-British/christian celebration on it , please could you help with ideas for topics/themes etc?

At the moment I am minding a nearly 1y/o and a nearly 2y/o, any help at all would be greatly received, thanks!

Rosh Hashannah - Jewish new year is Sep 8-10th. They traditionally eat apples dipped in honey to wish for a happy and sweet new year.

Ramadan which is being celebrated now for Muslims which is fasting from dusk til dawn for one month then after it has finished there is Eid which is a celebration for 3 days, exchange gifts etc

Diwali is always a good one. Festival of lights, interesting stories, good food . It falls on Nov 5th this year, so along with fireworks and bonfires should go down a treat.
