Is there interest in doing group festivals every season?

Maybe.  What festivals are you thinking you will do?  So far, we have celebrated birthdays and the "American" holidays.  I've tried to remember to celebrate the pagan holidays too, but I always forget.   :P

We celebrate the "American" holidays as well. I make it a point to celebrate as many things as possible and we do really well on the winter and spring holidays but not to well come Summer and Autumn.


The non mainstream holidays we celebrate:

Winter:
Yule
We celebrate Losar (Tibetan new year and we see the Vietnamese Lion Dancers) because I want Bry to understand that it isn't just China that uses a Lunar calendar and that China is NOT Asia.

Spring:
Holi (OMG this is so much fun!)
Purim (Again, fun!)

Autumn:
We tried to celebrate Samhain and we joined a coven one year a few years ago. But we just haven't been able to go again.

While it is not something we celebrate separately we do go to the Ethnic Enrichment Festival every year. Well we are not going this year. I am not up for anything today and it is the last day.
