No Thanksgiving?

It's "Turkey Day" in the U.S.A. today. Happy Thanksgiving!

Canada celebrated Thanksgiving last month. Happy (Much Belated) Thanksgiving!

Different countries celebrate different holidays, or the same holidays on different days. I was thinking about Thanksgiving here, and why it was started in the United States, and how that history is not history of the country I'm going to be started. Does that mean my country won't be celebrating Thanksgiving? Not necessarily. But it does mean if there is a Thanksgiving, it won't be the fourth Thursday of November each year.

So just what holidays will be celebrated and observed? Well, based on my preferences, there will be eight to start. Most of the reasons why are personal, and it seems they may eventually lead to a religion discussion in relation to the country. But this entry isn't about what religion(s), if any, will be the official religion of my country. It's about what holidays will be official.

My Birthday - This is a personal holiday I take every year. To make my life happier, in my country it will be a holiday for everyone! Or, this will probably translate to everyone gets a personal holiday on their own birthday.

Vernal (Spring) Equinox
Easter
Summer Solstice
Autumnal Equinox
Halloween
Winter Solstice
Christmas

What about other holidays? No New Year's?
Well, if we do one, January 1st being the most obvious, we really have to do them all I think. Including the Chinese New Year, the Islamic New Year, Halloween as the Witch's New Year, and whatnot.
No Thanksgiving?
As I started with, if a Thanksgiving does come about it will very likely be on a different day due to a different history.
What about all major religious holidays?
And just how many is that!

As with many countries, there will likely be a holiday for the establishment of the country as well. But since the country doesn't exist yet, there's no way to know what the date of that will be nor what the history of it is. Keep checking here to find out as it evolves!
