Holidays are usually celebrations or remembrances of events in human history that have been important for one reason or another. Typically there is a winter, spring, summer, and fall celebration that almost all cultures celebrate. Some events are commemorated for less than joyful reasons. For the most part this set of holidays will go to the original meaning of holiday (holy day) and National Commemorations. They point to ways that we, as human beings, from a wide and diverse community, celebrate, pass on, and, humbly, remember our highest values.
