How is your calendar of holidays?
This has been on the backburner for me since I got Seasons but now I have finally nailed down how I want to have my calender and holidays but I am curious what you guys have?
Here is my list starting at the top of the year, in Spring and I have kept all the official holidays but made some changes to some and removed the vacation day from some:
Day of Loki‘s Mischieves |1st week of Spring on a Saturday| (April fools kind of day)
Celebration of Life |3rd week of Spring on a Sunday| (Spring Equinox or Easter like holiday)
Love Day |3rd week of Spring on a Friday| (Valentines Day)
Simdependence Day |1st week of summer on a thursday| (Independence Day)
Summer Holiday |2nd week of Summer on a Friday|
Jock Jams |either 3rd or 4th week of Summer during weekend| (World Cup?)
Celebrating of the Extraordinary |1st week of Fall on a tuesday| (Pride Day)
Harvestfest |Last week of Fall on a Thursday| (Autumn Equinox-like holiday)
Boo Day |1st week of Winter, on a Friday (the 13th Friday of the year)| (Halloween-ish day)
Winter Holiday |somewhere in second week of Winter during a weekend|
Winterfest |3rd week of Winter on a Wednesday| (Christmas)
New Year‘s Eve |Last day of Winter|
Well. This is my list. All in all 12 holidays for the year, I am using 28 days for each season btw. I don't dare to have more because I don't want to loose many of the little spawning holidays and also I don't want the year to be nothing but holiday celebrations.
