New years eve, new years, easter, 4th july, Halloween, thanksgiving, christmas eve, christmas...

I think thats roughly my list...

Throw in a couple bdays and weekends and sick days...

For myself, I prefer to not use New Years Day as a holiday. I do count New Years Eve as a holiday, but the next day (January 1st) is a new, blank slate and I like to get the year off to a good start. That's just what feels right to me.

Living in Australia, a few of mine are naturally different.

I don't do New Year's Day, as the parties are the night before.

Don't bother with Halloween, it's not as big here and I kind of feel like trick or treating and candy is for children.

Don't do thanksgiving here

Don't do 4th July (obvs), but we have a national day (26th Jan) and also a commemoration day (25th April). However, neither of those days is about eating S's, so I don't bother making them S days.

I host a Solstice dinner once a year on 21st June (or as close as possible when everyone can make it). So, I make that an S day. We usually do the dinner on a weekend though, so it isn't an extra S.
