Let's put together all the national holidays our countries have and maybe, we have an excuse for the party every day!
Please, put only these holidays that are well-known in your country (even if not a day off) or that are official holidays (a day off) even if are not very popular.
To make it one-for-all calendar, I suggest, each following poster would re-post the message made by the previous poster, adding his / her holidays to it.
I'll start:
