For some reason same in here.

Plus I'm lazy, quoting to save the trouble of typing :D

Spring: Pride; Love Day
Summer: Independence Day; Summer Holiday (mini vacation)
Fall: Halloween; Thanksgiving
Winter: Hannukah; New Year's Eve; New Year's Day

I never felt the need to change holidays when playing in a new world. Forgotten hollow doesn't exactly feel like an actual European place to me, it feels more like a set from an old school horror/vampire movie.

Spring: love day, easter
summer : summer day (water activities, bbq and drinks) and vacation (everyone gets a few days off with the goal to travel somewhere)
autumn : spooky day, 1st November (remembering the deceased) and harvest fest
Winter: Christmas eve, Christmas day and new year

Only harvest day feels really American. I am still unsure if I should keep harvest fest or not. The rest feels familiar enough for me.

I don't have any specific holidays for Forgotten Hollow, they celebrate the same as for other worlds. But I would say Harvestfest, centered around nectar making, Winterfest and Springfest are big important holidays for them. Also, Ghouls' Night celebrated on night before St. Andrew's day (29 Nov night) is when all ghosts come out and garlic would be put to good use, you need to scrub it all over your body for maximum protection. This night wolves get to talk with a human voice and it would also be a big night for making magic.

All Souls Day around the last day of Autumn. Traditionally the day after Halloween. It'd be like the Day of the Dead, with skeleton suits and that sort of thing. It's about remembering those who've passed on, and honouring the things they did while they were alive.

EDIT: Thinking about it, it would be a straight copy of Day of the Dead. The two names are interchangeable in some countries IRL.

Yeah, all households have the same holidays and stuff. Which does feel rather awkward when I play a Mt. Komorebi household and go "...they don't really celebrate Christmas like this don't they?" I'm enough of a weeb to know it's more of a romantic date holiday and New Years is the much bigger deal there.

I currently have Forgotten Hollow grouped with Henford and Windenburg as New England, so the Hollow does get the same holidays as the other two.

Guy Fawkes Night (5th of November, I think) was celebrated in the thirteen colonies and only later fell out of favour. Traditions: mischief, bonfires, maybe storytelling.

You can't go wrong with Founding Day or Founder's Birthday either, in Forgotten Hollow that would of course be centered around Vlad.

Your description of all souls day sounds like it is very similar to 1st November which I mentioned in my list in one of the previous posts. Here the first day after halloween, nov 1st, is all saints day and nov 2nd is all souls day. But I have never heard anyone call these days day of the dead. Traditionally there are no skeleton suits and that kind of things. Those would only be seen at halloween.
What traditions do you use for all souls day? I have mourn at a grave, light candles and attend a service.
