Other:
● Your region day (stupid, we should merge all), mine is Madrid's
● Your city day (stupid, we should merge all), mine is Legan?s', although what matters is the day of the city where you work, so in my case it'll be Madrid's (the city, not the region)
● Your birthday [gifts for you] (though you still work)
● Your name's day [gifts for you] (though you still work)

I might have forgotten some. Normally I celebrate all of these days (and always in a non-religious way). There are fireworks in most days, and some other nights I never figured out why.

IRT Dreamer: Day of the gipsy culture - First sunday of April (april 3rd) ~ Call me racist, but I hate those villains, I don't celebrate it.

Lol, a day for that scum, guess it must be drugs day. We have some gypsies over here too, many in the south, and they're nothing but trouble, drugs, and crime. They're probably as bad or worse than yours, so I feel your pain. How would we want to celebrate such a day.

I feel unwanted now, being one of the gypsies myself.I guess I should feel ashamed for what my culture does.

IRT Zeus: It's not meant for all of the gipsies, I know a family who leads a normal life myself, but my neighbours are just terrible. There's always an exception, keep that in mind.

Fool's day for us is on the first of April.

I hate Black history month. Those villainous black gangstas down in the urban city are horrid. We should shoot them all and ship them to some leper island in the pacific.

What you replied to is not the same statment that is being told by your first statement. Because of one family you hate all gypsies!!!!! Because of that damn woman in Green Acres I have despised hungarians!!! That stupid bitch gives me the creeps.

I hate you gypsies too, because of you. kthxdai.

[Dreamer7000]

You got me wrong. I hate those villains, because they even attacked me with my pal, my neighbour is always shouting and drunk, their son is a miserable thief.
On the other hand, another family was our friends until they moved, sadly. And I try to avoid them on the streets, because I recieved much more bad stuff from them than good.
Anyway, my main point was, that there are always exceptions.
