Anyone wanting to incorporate holidays in their settings, but not sure how to do so: Check out this PDF, which I've found to be the single best collection for fantasy games. Some of the holidays resemble real world ones, but many more are holidays that seem like they must be real in some culture, but which will still seem fresh and new to players while still seeming plausible.
I've used several of them in my Midwood campaign so far, and it's really helped ground the players in the world, even if it's just them making passing references to last year's Apple Night, which didn't even occur in the context of the campaign, it's just something they know about and understand in the context of the setting. (In fact, they talk about it so much, I pretty much have to use it when it comes around this year.)
And it's a buck twenty-five!
