I am using a mod by LittleMsSims (I hope I have her name correct) for 21 day seasons. 7 is too short, 14 isn't quite enough but 28 days is like playing the game without seasons for me. 21 is just right.
I, too, am from the USA, born and bred. I have Ancestors who go back to the Revolutionary War, like others have. I created (borrowing from another Simmer's statement) Church for my future game save and Sunday Go to Meetin' for my 18th century game save. All that is required in the first one is attend holiday services. The second one they also have to serve a Grand Meal. As per some of the 'traditions' I read about describing the culture of the Colony of Virginia.
I have Liberty Day in the future game save and since in my ancestral game save Liberty hasn't yet been achieved, I don't. But, it occurs to me I should think of something for them.
Thanksgiving in the future save and Harvest Day in the 18th century. I have Christmas in both saves; I have Love Day in both saves (that the game comes with) and I put in place Pascha for the future game save. New Year's in both saves, although I may change the time of year in the 18th century, learning fairly recently that the new year used to begin in March. (Before we switched calendars. Chew on that one for a bit. ;) )
And right now, that's about it.
