Holiday for some

This weekend celebrated three things, 

30th November: Commemoration Day or Martyrs' Day commemorates the fallen in civil and humanitarian services, its emphasis is clearly on military martyrs. The reason for choosing November 30th for the holiday is that the first UAE soldier to die in defense of his country occurred on this date. It was given as a public holiday on 2015 as Martyrs' Day, and last year the name changed.

1st December: Prophet Muhammed's birthday on the 12th day of the Islamic month of Rabi' al-awwal

2nd December: National Day (United Arab Emirates)

We were given Thursday off, and government and school were given today off.
