Japanese children are so happy because they have three festivals each year. Including Boy’s day, they have Girl’s day and the 7-5-3 Festival.

May 5th is Japanese Children’s Day. But since the festival is mainly celebrated by boys, it is usually called Boy's day. On Boy’s day, children don't have to go to school. Each family with a boy hangs up huge carp-shaped flags(鯉魚旗). The flags are usually with three colors: black (standing for the father), red (standing for the mother), and blue (standing for the son). 1) Japanese parents believe that the flags will bring their boys good luck and give them courage and power.

Girl’s day is a girls’ festival on March 3rd. It is also called the Doll’s Festival because on that day, families get a set of dolls at home for their daughters. It is celebrated because the parents want their children to be strong and healthy.
