Which days are general holidays or festival times? What do they celebrate? Are there any that are only celebrated in particular countries, cities, or regions?
I've mentioned the Christmas-like holiday, Lafisavia, before, so we will use that as an example.
Since it is originally an elven holiday, it marks the day when an elven hero on his way to battle got lost in the cold, and was able to rejoin the army he was with when Meikon sent a star to guide him back. His fellow soldiers were so relieved to have him home, they threw a big party--so to the elves, Lafisavia is a time of homecoming. Other races, however, just interpret this as a general winter festival. On the Earth calender, it would fall on the night the full moon of December was in the sky.
