So, as Pagans, what other holidays do you celebrate? Aside from the main 8?

I do Lupercalia on Feb 15th, rather then Valentine's Day. The Feast of Rhiannon, the Feast of Epona, and the Eponalia, Saturnalia, and Laa Tinvaal, and the Feast of Fallen Warriors, along with several others.

Just the main 8 for me. Although I do celebrate some of the Christian holidays as well for sentimental reasons.

I try to do something for the main 8, but I also do Christmas with my family, and I do Hannukah. I find that there are parallels that are too obvious to over-look. I also find that when I start the December holidays as early as possible, usually with the start of Hannukah, and do almost all of them, it helps me to get through the winter without getting that down feeling that comes with the lesser daylight. I also burn a lot of candles from Christmas through March. That helps, too.

I was thinking more along the lines of the pagan holidays. I do Christmas, Thanksgiving too. I get in trouble on Ash Wednesday, as I walk around telling people they have dirt or a smudge on their face.

And I fully blame that on my dad, who used to be Catholic! LOL!

I celebrate the feast days of some Catholic saints and that's kinda pagan actually.
