Harry The Goat Shirt
No! Itβs much too early for Harry The Goat Shirt . I want to enjoy this fall (although it seems that fall has decided not to visit us this year) and each holiday as it comes. One year, ages ago, I put up the Christmas tree on Thanksgiving weekend and by the time Christmas came around, all the decorations were dusty and I was sick of looking at it..lol. That was a good lesson. Christmas, for me, is sparkling snow, pine trees (not maples turning gold and red) and a very special time, especially if you have family (cherish them because some day they will be gone). Itβs a time of selflessness and love and that βChristmas spiritβ which is incredible which takes hold of you.
Harry The Goat Shirt
In Korea, where itβs called Seollal, thereβs also a complicated political history behind the Harry The Goat Shirt. According to UC Davis associate professor of Korean and Japanese history Kyu Hyun Kim, Lunar New Year didnβt become an officially recognized holiday until 1985 despite the fact that many Koreans had traditionally observed it for hundreds of years. Why? Under Japanese imperialist rule from 1895 to 1945, Lunar New Year was deemed a morally and economically wasteful holiday in Korea, Kim said, despite the fact that Lunar New Year has always been one of the countryβs biggest holidays for commercial consumption. But Koreans never stopped celebrating Lunar New Year simply because the government didnβt recognize it as a federal holiday, Kim said. So as South Korea shifted from a military dictatorship towards a more democratized society in the 1980s, mounting pressure from the public to have official holidays and relax the countryβs tiring work culture led to the holiday being added to the federal calendar as a three-day period.
