They're all important dates, but tradition has Esperantists celebrate the 15th December, so bonan Zamenhof-tagon!

That said, I haven't done anything to celebrate it, but here's an idea: I recently got interested in Tangrams. Perhaps an Esperanto set could be designed by using green coloured pieces, like the attached pic I just made using Windows Paint. Readers may like to suggest E-o symbols to go on some of the pieces and submit suggested revisions of the design, like a lighter green verda stelo on the square and la melono on the parallelogram, or perhaps straddling the boundary of the two large triangles..

jan aleksan: It make sense, but note that july the 26th can occur during a summer esperanto event. Next year it will be during UK. Doesnt it a great occasion too?
I don't know anyone who celebrates summer holidays on the same scale as Christmas. Most offices have a holiday party in December. Not so many offices seem to have a party for a summer holiday, at least here in the US. Some companies do have a summer picnic but it's not nearly as many as the companies who have a holiday party in the winter, and it's not nearly as formal.

We can celebrate both days! I'll toast to that! Sanon!

On this subject, I tend to agree with erinja. I think it is largely due to the fortuitous timing of Zamenhof's birthday and not any desire to fetishize him. This is a season where a lot of people want to feel a sense of togetherness. Summer holidays are more about fun, but winter holidays are about being together with friends and family.

I agree with robbkvasnak. Por somero vino, varmmedo en vintro!

(Wine for summer, warm mead in winter)

In Britain we have already started to celebrate 26th July with lots of positive external publicity. See http://www.esperantolobby.net There's also an Esperanto Week in the lead up to our national conference.

The outside world still looks on Esperanto speakers as some sort of sect. It's a shame that many Esperanto speakers do not realise this negative aspect and still try to deify Zamenhof to the general public and portray us as an inward-looking sect.
