There are many important holidays in a calendar year, but my favorite one is March 8th. Everybody knows that it’s an international Women’s Day, but for me it’s a special day. First of all, it’s the beginning of spring, which is my favorite season. The weather is almost always fine on this day. Secondly, people seem to become happier on this day. Women are happy to receive presents and compliments, while men are happy to pay extra attention to their loved ones. None of them is left without a present or special attention on March the 8th. Mothers, grandmothers, sisters, girlfriends, wives, daughters - they are all treated with respect and admiration. It's worth mentioning that this holiday originated at the beginning of the 20th century in New York. At first, it was a strike held by the Socialistic Party in support of Ladies' Working Union. Later on, some of the European Socialist Party representatives proposed to celebrate the annual Women’s Day in March and so the tradition began. The holiday was mainly celebrated in communist and socialist countries. In Western countries the observance of the Women’s Day became popular in 1970s. As the time passed, the holiday became more and more popular. Today, it is especially important to go out on this day, to visit the concerts or other performances which set a festive mood. Women receive lots of flowers, postcards and small presents. It's habitual to buy spring flowers on this day, including snowdrops, daffodils and tulips
