The Year that Christmas came early

In the year 2013 there was a huge fire at the factory that made all the calendars and all the calendars in the world were burnt to ash and cinders. Nobody knew if it was halfway through June or December! The people of the region decided to have Christmas in summer, Passover in Autumn and the summer holidays whenever it rained. Then they added some extra special holidays which made a special festival every single week. After a few months numerous kids began to feel fed up. They were sick of chocolate and opening presents didn’t feel special any more. They even missed school (it was never open any more!). A vote was taken and it was promptly decided that Christmas, Easter and Eid should come once per year. The children were glad to get back to school and the adults were glad to return to work.
