Need ideas fot custom holidays

I haven't made any truly custom. but I did make a "winterfest eve".. and moved some of the decoration stuff and father winter to the eve instead of winterfest day. (like Christmas Eve and Christmas Day... Santa doesn't come on Christmas day, he comes Christmas eve)

Oh, I made a water day, and now it seems like a guaranty to rain that day... I built an indoor pool for it.

I like the pizza ideas.. and movie night.. some great ideas here

Full disclosure, the calendar and holidays are one of my favorite things(may have gone over board)

I've usually add Springfest, Summerfest, Spooky fest and Bonfire Night to all of my saves. I've also added Water Day and Flowerfest to my commune challenge save.
I'd tell you what traditions they have, but unfortunately I can't get near my PC atm.

Due to my Anneorine religion being mainly based on Disney heroines
heatwaves=Ariel Days
Pocahontasfest-Fall
Olaffest (Christmas)
Lover day (not necessary couples)-winter and summer

@CristalBlueRoses, for water day, if weather is bad in one town, it might be better in another. I have a day in Summer with water fun as well, and always seem to have foul weather at home (Willow Creek), but Oasis Springs tends to have really sunny weather that day, so the family always travels there for the holiday.

I actually kind of like that weather sometimes means traveling for the holiday. I mean, that's what a lot of people do on holidays anyway. :)

Of course, part of my reason for this is the home lot is too small to add the stuff. LOL

@Stormkeep I didn't know it would be different in different towns! I'll try this next time.

@CristalBlueRoses - The only thing missing is a way to see weather forecast in each of the neighborhoods. Sometimes I have to have my sims travel to a 2nd option when I use this trick to get away from storms/rain. It would be nice if we could check the weather in every town ahead of time; fortunately I have fast load times so it isn't too big of a deal.

@Rae357, I love it! Do you have all of those set to be days off of work or just some of them? Be hard to get career progression with that many holidays if they are all days off. lol

@Stormkeep The ones set as a day off have '(day off)' next to them ex. "-Day of Ancestor's Monday(Day Off)"

Hahaah...i guess I should have been able to figure out that if it did NOT say that, it wasn't a day off... my bad! Thanks for answering. :D
