	Well done for including The 12th.

	Dia de los Muertos starts on October 31st and continues in November. Source: http://spanish.about.com/cs/culture/a/dayofdead.htm

	Thanks ajax. I replaced it.

	Well done, LTH. This helped me realize how ignorant I am of when most holidays occur (and confirmed for me that the US isn't the only country to ignore August altogether.)

	@ajax, after reading up on it, it appears that the official dates for the Day of the Dead are November 1 and 2 because the Mexican traditions of honoring the dead have been linked with the Catholic holidays All Saint's Day and All Soul's Day. http://www.infoplease.com/spot/day-of-the-dead.html

	no love for august

	rychu_supadude:	Jun 18th, 2011 at 14:49 GMT	2 points
	I guessed August for all the ones I didn't know... Do'h, Do'h and, indeed, D'oh.

	The error message for Rosh Hashanah says September of October. Otherwise, great quiz!

	I thought I remembered taking this quiz. It's not identical but this quiz listing 19 holidays and aksing us to name the months was just published in April and is pretty damn similar: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Treverbeast454/month-by-holiday

	Nice Quiz, and thanks LTH. It seems to me that Catholics follow the Hebrew tradition of observing feast days, such as the Sunday sabbath, or the Day of the Dead from sundown on the day before. Thus it would seem logical to me that the Mexican feast begins on the day before... on October 31st. Hopethat's right... and right in Mexico

	My word, I was rubbish at that. Could you include something for the idiots among us (that's me) perhaps May Day or April Fool's Day?

	LTH:	Jul 13th, 2011 at 20:03 GMT	1 point
	@moviegoer, I was definitely aware of that quiz when putting this one together. There are only four overlapping holidays and the main difference between the two is that wrong answers are accepted on this one.

	moviegoer74:	Aug 10th, 2011 at 19:03 GMT	2 points
	Fair enough about the differences. As I said, they're not identical. But I do feel like that's the kind of thing many others (myself included) have been shouted down in the comments section for not acknowledging in the game notes or a first comment.
