Once it was obvious that the first World meeting of the year was drawing to a close, in chaos as usual, England stealthily began to pack away his things while casually looking over to the large windows to see what the weather was like. It was snowing. Craning his neck slightly to see better, England was able to conclude that it had been snowing for quite a while as there was a large fluffy layer, virtually untouched, covering the ground. Smiling slightly, he turned back to what he was doing. As he sorted his papers, he happened to catch sight of the date written on one of them; January 18th? Realisation coming to him in a sudden flash, he stood and shouted for attention. Slowly, the other nations broke off their arguments to listen to him. Taking a breath England spoke. "I have a suggestion. Some of you may know that today, January 18th is also known as the World Day of Snowman. I propose that after the meeting we go outside and take advantage of the recent snowfall to build snowmen."
For a long moment there was silence. "Ve, can we Germany? That sounds like fun!"
Germany barely seemed to consider it at all before he was agreeing and then, after glancing around the meeting room to see if there was anything else, closed the meeting. As the full idea of what had just happened sunk in, the nations began to hurriedly get ready to leave, a sense of excitement growing in the room.
Soon there were nations running around in the snow, gathering snow to make into snowmen, various shapes taking shape as the nations shouted and cheered, starting friendly competitions and occasionally sabotaging each other's efforts, with the odd snowball battle taking place.

AN So looking through a list of world commemorative days I found this one and couldn't resist doing it. The bit about Germany not protesting and being quite up for it was because the link I found for it was to a German website, so I figured Germany would probably enjoy it.
AN2 I was taking a look at the stories I've posted so far, and I found that I'd posted one chapter for this, formerly called Days of February, as I was intending to do a different story for each month. Which spectacularly failed. So, I decided to take it down, and redo it, after sitting and typing up all the days up to May so that I'd be caught up and then repost it all at once as one story that will cover the whole year. Though, I've decided not to do January 1st as everyone does it, and February 14th as I've already got the Valentine's Week series. Hopefully, I'll actually update this after I've done this mass update.
