(I voted 4-6 but actually counting my answers it would have been 7 for my first reblog)

Holidays that I should have remembered to put down because I know them and corrections about what I said are in the tags.

So in total after fact-checking and looking up for clarification AFTER THE FIRST POST, I DID NOT CHEAT (promise)-- I know nine holidays in total after checking my initial answers + seeing what I forgot the first time around. Plus Eden provided me that lovely spreadsheet about the list of Jewish Holidays and feasts so I can go memorize that now.
