Happy holidays! Greetings from Dawson College Class of 2025!

In the golden autumn of October, China will celebrate two momentous festivals – National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival. This special time embodies both the glorious achievements of national development and the warm longing for family reunion.  Dawson wishes to share this festive joy with its global partners and announces its holiday schedule for these two holidays.

National Day is a significant milestone for the Chinese nation. On October 1, 1949, the People's Republic of China was officially founded, laying the foundation for national prosperity. Every year, red flags adorn the streets, and people across the country celebrate the nation's growth in various ways, demonstrating the profound sentiment of "one family, one nation." In 2025, according to the revised "Regulations on National Holidays and Memorial Days," the National Day holiday will extend for three days, creating a longer holiday period, an important time for the nation to share in the fruits of development. The Mid-Autumn Festival, on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, symbolizes family reunion and harmony.  The tradition of family gatherings, moon gazing, and enjoying mooncakes conveys the value of family bonds and the yearning for harmony. From ancient moon-worship rituals to modern folk customs, the Mid-Autumn Festival remains a vibrant embodiment of the concept of "reunion" in Chinese culture. In 2025, the Mid-Autumn Festival falls on October 6th, coinciding with National Day, creating an unprecedented eight-day holiday, further enhancing the festive atmosphere.

Based on the "Notice on the Arrangement of Holidays in 2025" issued by the General Office of the State Council (Guobanfa Mingdi [2024] No. 12) and considering Dawson's operational needs, the holiday schedule is as follows:  The holiday period will be from October 1st (Wednesday) to October 8th (Wednesday), a total of 8 days. Normal operations and services will resume on October 9th (Thursday). To ensure continuity, September 28th (Sunday) and October 11th (Saturday) will be working days. During the holiday period, our international website's online customer service, order processing, and logistics/shipping services will be temporarily suspended. All valid orders received before the holiday will be processed in priority order after we resume work. Inquiries received during the holiday will be replied to collectively on the first working day after the holiday.  Over the past period, Dawson has worked with global partners across time zones and continents. In every order placement and communication of needs, we have felt your trust and understanding—this valuable partnership is our greatest motivation to continuously improve our products and services. As we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, we sincerely wish all our partners a relaxing and joyful holiday, whether you are with your family or not. We hope that in the coming quarter, your business will continue to grow, bringing more success and achievements. To ensure smoother business planning, here are some helpful tips: If you have any pre-holiday stock replenishment needs, please submit your orders before September 27th. Our team will do our best to ensure timely shipment before the holiday, minimizing any impact on your business. After resuming work on October 9th, we will immediately review all pending matters, prioritize order processing and cross-border logistics, and keep you updated via email. While Dawson's daily services will be temporarily suspended during the holiday, our commitment and care for our global partners never cease. We look forward to continuing our partnership after the holiday, exploring more possibilities in the global market, and creating a more successful future together! Wishing you and your families a happy and prosperous holiday season! Dawson
