Beat me to it!
3 of those are not celebrated anywhere but north America.
Christmas is a christian one...
So gotta go with that pagan one called new years eve.
Pegan Christmas was better don't @ me
Halloween and Christmas are both celebrated in the UK
True...
Thanksgiving, also I don't consider Black Friday an actual holiday and I don't plan to spend a single cent on any of these holidays until companies decide to pay a livable wage, so it'll probably be a while but that's perfectly fine since I stopped celebrating holidays years ago. Currently my wages go towards living and occasionally investing, they don't go towards wasting money on unnecessary plastic garbage or electronics.
All of those are capitalistic holiday plus an excuse to spend more money/find joy by consuming
Christmas, but only because of the snow βοΈ
Do you get snow? Bruh I don't
I am waiting for Christmas
No halloween, Thanksgiving, black friday in my country
Same. Literally the same. I mean, stores and that put some Halloween decoration and that but that's all.
The anniversary of the October Revolution
Halloween!
I'm waiting for a few days of peace and quiet..
