Commemorative Days of the Calendar.....

After a bit of a break, I'm back with the first post for December, 2010. It has been two days since the whole world commemorated the "World Aids Day", on the 1st of December. This gave me this idea of writing a post about the mostly marked days of the calendar. So here we go.

The "Red Ribbon" marking the 1st December - "World Aids Day"
