Whether youre a patriot, a Remoaner, a Morris dancer or a supporter of Ukip, St Georges Day is the perfect opportunity to let your hair down.
And the 2018 date when we are allowed to celebrate England and its patron saint St George, is coming up very soon.
Theres still just about enough time to polish your bells, fill the house with red roses and dig out your best sword for dragon-fighting.
So when is St Georges Day 2018? Does it count as a bank holiday, or a national holiday?
St Georges Day falls on Monday 23 April. Thats tomorrow.
Despite the fact that its a Monday this year, and despite numerous calls for it to be made a public holiday, it is NOT a bank holiday.

Youll have to go to work/school/uni and dream about the glorious hills and valleys of Eng-er-land from your desk.
Jeremy Corbyn has said he would make St Georges Day a bank holiday if he was made Prime Minister.
Still, at the moment any celebrations you want to get involved in, like dragon fight re-enactments and Punch & Judy shows, will have to wait until after work.
However, there is a bank holiday (well, two actually) just around the corner in May.
St Georges Day is actually celebrated in 24 other countries and some of them have made the celebration a national holiday.
