A definition of Church holidays

Ok, having listened to the radio, driven past McDonalds, and talked to a few people today, I though it was an idea to offer a religious and a secular definition of certain Christian holidays

Christmas Day - A day to praise God for the gift of his son, Jesus Christ to the world

X-mas Day - Sponsored by major retailers, a day to try to bankrupt yourself and outdo all your relatives on who can buy the biggest, most expensive, tackiest presents.

Shrove Tuesday - The day before Ash Wednesday, a day when we traditionally would feast before 40 days of fasting for Lent

Pancake Day - A day to squeeze loads of lemons, pour sugar all over pancakes, and make idiots of ourselves trying to toss them in the air, and scrape them off the Kitchen ceiling

Ash Wednesday - The start of Lent

Huh, When?

Good Friday - The day Christ was crucified for our sins

Hot cross bun day - Starts in january, and normally stops in December

Easter Sunday - The day when Jesus’s disciples saw him after he had risen from the dead.

Easter - a day to stuff yourself stupid on chocolate eggs, rabbits and anything else you can think of.  Sales start as soon as the Christmas sales end, and finish just in time for the summer holidays sales.

I would like suggestions for other holidays, especially if you can think of secular equivalents.
