Also came across another festival – Chinese Valentines day or Daughters day celebrated on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month (Aug 2nd 2014) has a lovely story to it …..
The Goddess of Heaven (also known as the Queen of Heaven) had seven beautiful, young daughters. The seven daughters came down to earth. They decided to bathe in a pristine river, leaving their clothes on the shore. Along came a cow herder (the herd were actually ox) named “Niu Lang”. He took their clothes to see what they would do. The daughters decided that the youngest, and most beautiful, named Zhi Nü should go out of the water and recover their clothes. Because Niu Lang saw her naked, they had to get married. They fell madly in love, and shared several years of marital bliss.
Finally, her mother became irritated by her absence from Heaven, and ordered her to return. Seeing how much Zhi Nü missed her husband, the Jade Emperor of Heaven brought the couple back together. Ultimately, Zhi Nü was allowed to visit her husband, Niu Lang just once a year. The annual reunion occurs on the 7th day of the 7th month of the Lunar Calendar.
Also know as
Festival of Seven Daughters
Seventh Sister’s Birthday
Festival of Double Sevens
Night of Sevens

I do have just one suggestion. With the seasonal date e.g solstices etc you could put the Southern Hemisphere dates on as well, its an interesting concept that what is happening on one side over the other is the total opposite 🙂

Any suggestions on where to find a 2015 calendar? Thank you again. Love your work!
