GEORGIA
On calendars in Georgia, Christmas (Georgian: შობა, shoba) is celebrated on January 7 (December 25 on the Julian calendar). It is traditional in Georgia to go on Alilo (a modified pronunciation of Alleluia), a mass walk in the streets, dressed in special clothing to celebrate and congratulate each other. Most members of the Alilo march are children and they are given sweets by the adults. The Alilo carols vary across the provinces of Georgia. In most songs these words are used: "ოცდახუთსა დეკემბერსა, ქრისტე იშვა ბეთლემსაო'" (otsdakhutsa dekembersa qriste ishva betlemsao) – "on 25th December Christ was born in Bethlehem". A local variant of the Christmas tree, called Chichilaki, is made of soft wooden material with curled branches. Sometimes it is hazelnut branch which is carved into a Tree of Life-like shape and decorated with fruits and sweets. The Western custom of a Christmas tree (nadzvis khe) is also popular and has been imported through Russia. The Georgian equivalent of "Santa Claus" is known as tovlis papa (or tovlis babua in western Georgian dialects), literally meaning a "Grandfather snow", and is traditionally portrayed with long white beard, dressed in national costume "chokha" and wearing a fur cloak "nabadi".

Turkish world will celebrate Nevruz, world's oldest festival, on March 21.

Nevruz, the world's oldest festival which is celebrated by festivities under various names in many communities, is being celebrated in the Turkish World as "the exit of Turks from Ergenekon" and "the beginning of the new year in Turkish calendar with 12 zodiac divisions represented by animals" since 5000 years.

It is considered as the herald of spring and the "new day" by the peoples of the vast Eurasian geography. It symbolizes the bountiful, fertile and lively characteristics of the awakening nature as well as the values of love, fraternity, sharing, peace and friendship. Nevruz is the day Mother Nature starts breathing again and turns green in an act of resurrection.

As the beginning of a new year, the festival symbolizes rebirth and it is an occasion for wishes, hopes and expectations for the future. Therefore, it is a very particular festival that might be unique in the world. With Nevruz, not only the nature is born again and renews itself with zeal. People are also cleansed and renewed both physically and spiritually. People's emotions and ideas are also renewed with the beginning of a new year. Therefore, Nevruz represents the joy of nature-s renewal as well as faith in mankind and best wishes.

Over the last two decades, the Turkish officials have been working hard to internationalize this important day. Their efforts resulted in large number of world states' sending groups of children to Turkey to participate in the above stated festivities. During their stay in Turkey, the foreign children are housed in Turkish homes and find an important opportunity to interact with the Turkish children and learn about each other's countries and cultures. The foreign children groups also participate in the special session of the Grand National Assembly. This results in a truly international Assembly, where children pledge their commitment to international peace and brotherhood.
The importance of April 23 as a special day of children has been recognized by the international community. UNICEF decided to recognize this important day as the International Children's Day.

Little ladies and men. All of you are a flower, star and light of the future. You are the one that will lead to the flashy light. Try to think about how important and valuable you are. We expect a lot from you.
