NationalLeonDay

National Leon Day, Otherwise Known As Halfmas, is an annual Unofficial Holiday celebrated on June 25 every year, marks the exact halfway point in the year to Christmas.

Honored on June 25 each year, National Leon Day gives us an excuse to celebrate an extremely festive occasion, just for the sake of celebrating it. ‘Leon’ is ‘noel’ spelled backward, and it means ‘to be born’ in Latin. In Ecclesiastes, which is one of the Ketuvim (writings) from the Hebrew bible, Jesus’ birth is referred to as ‘natalis’. A version of ‘natalis’ is ‘nael’, which was used in Old French and referred to the Christmas season. Another variation of the word exists in Middle English, too, where it was called ‘nowel’. In the modern day and age, ‘noel’ means Christmas as well as Christmas carols and songs.

Some traditions Of Halfmas is the same as people do in December which are:

Singing Christmas Carols

Watching Christmas Specials and Movies

etc.
