I was wondering given tomorrow's (may 30th) date how did pagans feel about national, non-religious holidays like memorial day, or July 4th, (sorry don't know any non-american national holidays sweatdrop ) so I thought it would be something interesting to discuss, If this is the wrong forum, sorry I was debating between main and sitting room sweatdrop . have fun discussing
Athena bless,

I Celebrate Alot Of Non-pagan Holidays Like Memorial Day Is A Day Of Remembrance
And July 4th Is A Celebration Of Freedom
I Celebrate Almost All Major Holiday Expect Easter,Christmas Ect. For Those I Celebrate Ostara And Yule

Well, my birthday is on July 4th so i kind of have to celebrate it... but I don't really think of those as holidays. I think of them as "Reasons to be out of school"
I don't celebrate the big big holidays like Christmas or Easter (I can't think of any others) I mean, I don't mind the holidays. I respect them, I just see no reason to celebrating them.
There are only 8 holidays I really celebrate. 3nodding

I celebrate national holidays...defiantly
I even celebrate Christian holidays even though I am not Christian. My family is so I celebrate with them. It is a nice way for us to connect, and I love my family. I don't really get anything to spiritual from them, and in my mind they are Yule and Ostara. I have to say, if it wasn't for my family, I would not celebrate them. But the celebrations that are customary to my faith, I celebrate alone. I have no one to enjoy them with, so it feels empty. At least these non-pagan celebrations are more accepted by today's society, are celebrated by my family, and bring me a sense of community. It is not such a bad thing.
