How come there are no pagan holidays listed here? That's a little biased. And I know many will argue that some of the holidays listed were once pagan holidays just renamed to appease everyone when the catholics converted the old ones, but come on. I want my real names, like Beltaine, for instance.

Honestly, it's a numbers issue. Simply put, there's not enough people out there celebrating Beltaine/etc for Yahoo to put in the categories. All told, looking at the list, they aren't including anything other than what you'd find on a standard US calendar - a rather bland list of federal holidays, with a few others thrown in. We're still "under the radar" in terms of the general populace.

More people need to complain about it! There wasn't a Halloween section before.
