I often forget the (pagan) holidays, and when I do remember them I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.
New Year's - watch the ball drop and eat cornbread, turnip greens and black eyed peas for dinner. Who ever finds the dime in the peas will have wealth that year.
With Easter you eat lots of chocolate and hide colored eggs from children.
On Thanksgiving you stuff your face with turkey and pumpkin pie and way too much family.
But what do I do for Ostara, Beltane, Samhain, Imbolc, Yule, etc?
I know that "basically"
Ostara = Easter
Samhain = Halloween
Yule = Christmas
