Holiday Lists

For those of you who missed our last meeting, I mentioned a site I found called http://www.brownielocks.com/.  It has the most complete holiday list I have ever seen.  So, if your writing project has a specific theme, you can promote it to coincide with the celebration of that topic.

Warning: Some listings are regional so be aware of that when you are going through the list.  For example, Elvis's B-day is celebrated in Graceland, and Pioneer Day is a holiday in Utah.
