Your Holiday is your birthday. How would it be celebrated.
May 6: Wearing flowers, drinking wine and taking naps! Eating with your fingers, abstaining from meat for the day as a nod to your own fate. Making soothing music. Acknowledging transitions in yourself and the world around you- it's spring! Visiting the dead around sundown. And a taboo against using fire during the holiday; fires wake the sleeping and don't allow the rot.
