"Look at the moon," my son shouts excitedly. Our son's best friend joins in the celebration, and soon the whole room is looking out of the window, enjoying this simple sight.

It's not the first time we've _______ our love of the moon as a family. Last time we celebrated as we sat in a taxi after a meaningful day trip. Both our son and little daughter were jumping around with _______ in the back of the cab at the sight of the big golden October harvest moon. The driver couldn't help but join in the simple joy.

In order not to _______ the moon whenever it appears, we even _______ our bedroom to the back of the house. So our son has a _______ from Bath in the East to the Forest in the West. It has paid off as he often now shouts down to us about sunrises, sunsets, rainbows or a storm.

I'm not sure if he knows just _______ this pleases me. At seven, it feels like he is starting to understand more about the rhythm of life, the passing of time, and how it _______ us humans. He knows that the sun doesn't _______ rise in one place, that it travels _______ the sky. He knows that clouds will gather near hills or mountains and a rainbow often ________ rain. It feels like he is developing a ________ connection with the earth through the ________ he spends sitting on his windowsill.

He then understands what he is enjoying is temporary (短暂的). The ________ doesn't stay full for long and rainbows disappear quickly. ________, he's catching those moments with both ________ and holding them in his arms. And what I love about this the most is that his first thoughts are always to share this joy with those whom he loves.

Everyone loves holidays and festivals. But do you know a holiday that is celebrated every month? Yes, it's the only holiday that takes place twelve times a year—Bonza Bottler Day.

Bonza Bottler Day is celebrated once a month when the number of the month is the same as the number of the day (Jun. 1, Feb. 2, March. 3). When the number of the year also matches the number of the day and month (August 8, 2008), there is reason to have a bigger celebration.

Elaine Fermont from America came up with the idea for Bonza Bottler Day on August, 1985. She created it when she realized that there were no special chances to celebrate one month. She decide to give herself a reason to have a party and some fun with this special day every month.

Mrs. Fremont held a competition to give the day a special name, which a student from Australia won. When Australians like something, they might shout,” Bonza!”. The word means super, great or fantastic. And “Bottler"is slang(俚语)for something excellent. So the holiday is known as Bonza Bottler Day.

Bonza Bottler Day has no tradition. You are free to do whatever you want. People in offices and hospitals bring food to share. Bonza Bottler Day is a favorite with many schools because it gives a break to students. The holiday can be Candy Day, Ice Cream Day, Be Kind to Classmates Day, No Homework Day, Picnic Day, and the list goes on.
