Holidays you've created?

I haven't been nearly as imaginative as you all I'm afraid. My seasons last 14 days so I've only added the following in between the default holidays:

1) Bunny Day (i.e. Easter - 2nd Sunday in Spring)
Traditions: Egg Hunt, Flower Bunny, Grand Meal, Baking
Day off work/school

2) Leisure Day (i.e. Summer bank holiday - 2nd Monday in Summer)
Traditions: Bar-B-Que, Drinking, Water Fun, Go on a Vacation or Travel
Day off work/school

3) Spooky Day (i.e. Halloween - Friday 6th of Autumn)
Traditions: Decorate (Spooky), Trick or Treat, Wear Costumes, Spooky Spirit

I've also thought about adding Bonfire Night and Remembrance Day, but decided not to for now since I don't want Autumn clogged up with holidays.

Spring:
Easter-Sunday in week 1 of spring. Attend holiday ceremony, flower bunny, egg hunt, baking. Spring decorations.
Mother's Day-Sunday in week 2 of spring. Gift gifts, thankful spirit, give flowers.
Valentine's Day-Thursday in week 2 of spring. Romantic spirit, go on a date, give flowers, romantic TV. Love Day decorations.

Summer:
Independence Day/4th of July-Thursday in week 1 of summer. BBQ, fireworks, water fun, invite guests, party spirit.
Father's Day-Sunday in week 2 of summer. Give gifts, thankful spirit, games.
Since the kids and teens don't automatically get summer breaks, in a technical sense, everyday minus the weekends are a 'holiday' since that's the only way for them to have a true summer vacation. Most of the days have no traditions since that would make it feel more like an actual holiday when all I want is a break from school for them, but there are some days with 1 tradition like cleaning (since I know the lack of school/work would probably result in messes all over the house) or tell stories (my idea of the family just sitting and chatting about what they did over vacation).

Autumn:
Children's Day-Saturday in week 1 of autumn. Give gifts, games.
Thanksgiving-Thursday in week 2 of autumn. Attend holiday ceremony, thankful spirit, grand meal, decorate, sports TV. Harvestfest decorations.

Winter:
Christmas Eve-Wednesday in week 2 of winter. Decorate, father winter, festive spirit. Winterfest Decorations.
Christmas-Thursday in week 2 of winter. Attend holiday ceremony, grand meal, give gifts, open presents, festive lighting.
New Years Eve-Saturday in week 2 of winter. Countdown to midnight, make resolutions, decorate , party spirit, fireworks. New Years Eve decorations.
Just like with summer, I created a winter break. It occurs on the 2nd week of winter utilizing the non-holiday, non-weekend days and none of those days have traditions since I already have 3 actual holidays in this season.

My new updated list with the now added Children's Day. Japan's is in spring, but I put mine in autumn since I only had one holiday in that season anyway. No new wacky holidays, but I'm fine with that. :)

Fasting day

Woohoo day! Just a day filled with romantic interactions, flirting, and seduction. It's a day off to enjoy and relive your first romantic experience. I really enjoyed playing it, and apparently so did my sims :wink:

Just wanted to point out that this year, tomorrow, May the Fourth and World Naked Gardening Day happen to coincide.



With Cinco de Mayo on Sunday, this is going to be one hell of a weekend. My sims will be wasted.

Easter and when my 2nd generation teen sim became a young adult... The beginning of Aoi! (Holiday. The legacy is Japanese don't judge me.) His adopted sister and aunt froze to death that very day. Both never having a chance to find true love :'(. Lol

In honor of my home, I made a Kentucky Derby Holiday. First Saturday in the summer (First saturday in May every year, closest I could come to that, without putting it in spring)

May the fourth be with you! and the... gardening...

I have my seasons set to 14 days and there are 3-4 days between each holiday except for Winterfest/Boxing Day and Summer Break/Summer Vacation. I don't remember what day of the week they all are on without looking.

Winter:
Winterfest - I added attend holiday ceremony, otherwise it's pretty much the original
Boxing Day - Fighting and exercising (preferably with the punching bag, I have a thing for bad puns)
Big Game Day - Watching sports, drinking, party spirit, play games
New Year's Eve - same as original

Spring:
Love Day - same as original
Blossomfest - egg hunt, flower bunny, baking, grand meal, holiday ceremony
Fool's Day - mischief and streaking

Summer:
4th of Memorial - fireworks, remembrance, drinking and grilling
Summer Break/Summer Vacation - two days in a row with travel and play games as activities. One has party spirit and the other has tell stories, to encourage sims to interact on vacation.
Summer's End - water activities, bonfires, drinking and grilling

Fall:
Spooky Day - trick or treat, decorations, spooky spirit, party spirit. I don't use the costumes activity because it's so limited in costume options, but I usually do dress them up on that day. I sometimes throw costume parties.
Ancestor's Day - Remembrance and Story-telling
Harvestfest - removed the gnomes, can't remember if I replaced them with something
