Brazil is holidays paradise. We have a lot of them. Because of this, by law we can celebrate only 13 of them. Every city can choose what they want to celebrate locally, besides the national holidays like Independence Day, Christmas, New Year, Labor Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day and other religious ones.
The best part is that if the holiday happens on a Tuesday, for example, probably we will find a way to skip the Monday e take the opportunity to travel for four days, since we usually do not work on weekends.
