Children's Day
Yesterday, it was the Day of Our Lady of Aparecida. It is a national holiday, so I had no work. Besides that, we also celebrate Children's Day here in Brazil. Every year there are a bunch of ads on television about discounts on toys and special cultural activities for children to participate, but this year I saw no such thing. I think it's because we're still under quarantine.
When I was a child, I remember that there would always be fun events at school to celebrate Children's Day. One time, the school rented bouncing castles and hired some clowns for the day before the holiday, and everyone had some free time at the end of the school day just to play. There was music, cotton candy, and even the older children joined in the fun.
Now that I'm older we don't have free time with clowns and bouncing castle anymore, unfortunately. :( But we do have this tradition in my family that we celebrate Children's Day even though none of us is a child anymore. This year, we bought some pizza and my mom baked a huge chocolate cake like the one from the movie Matilda for us to eat at dinner. In the morning, we ate coxinhas and pigs in a blanket for breakfast. Then I took some time to clean up my working desk and wash all the toys I keep there as a decoration. My dad said he thought it was very fitting activity. "It's nice of you to take exactly this day to clean up these old toys," he said, and added that it reminded him of the time I was a child. Finally, at the end of the day, we watched Matilda as we ate our special dinner. It was so much fun! We know pretty much every line of the movie, but we like to re-watch it whenever we get the chance.

Your English is very good!
Sounds like you had a good time! It was also a holiday here in Canada, but we eat turkey instead (Thanksgiving).

Thanks for your correction! ^^
I hope you had a good time during the holiday too. I never ate turkey, but my mom said that we might try it this year, since I'm working now and, therefore, I'll be the one that will buy it.
