Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on

declared that the attributive rather than the possessive case

is the official spelling.

and watching horror films

The American tradition of carving pumpkins is recorded in 1837 and was originally

associated with harvest time in general, not

becoming specifically associated with Halloween

until the mid-to-late 19th century

for Easter shifts every year within the Gregorian calendar

December 25th is Christmas, celebrating the birth of
