	If you're using a Jewish calendar, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah all fall on the same day every year.

	^Hah, I was going to say the exact same thing. The Jewish holidays listed here are a specific date on the Hebrew calender every year, while the other 'wrong answers' have a consistent weekday-rule... so maybe say in the question "on the national/Roman calendar". In fact, as soon as I went to this quiz I was kinda half hoping (but expecting otherwise) that it wouldn't include Hebrew-calendar based holidays.

	Also just to nitpick, mtsobel, it's the Hebrew calendar, not the "Jewish calendar", Israelis use it pretty mainstream and not just for religion purposes, and Israel's Independence day (which is not a Jewish/religious holiday) is celebrated on its Hebrew anniversary, while the Roman calendar date of it is pretty much ignored.

	Just to remove any confusion, I removed the three holidays listed above.

	I know May Day is celebrated every May 1, but in the U.S.? I somehow missed the festivities.

	I overlooked Halloween because ours was held on Nov. 4 due to the hurricane. Doh!

	That's curious - in the UK we don't have a fixed date for May Day (at least, not for the public/federal holiday - it's the first Monday of the month).

	Is May Day even celebrated in the US? I've never celebrated it.

	So basically there's Christmas, New Year's, and the 4th of July, and other than that you can celebrate anything you want, just don't expect the day off.

	@redsxfenway Washington's and Lincoln's birthday holidays were consolidated into President's Day in 1971 to be the third Monday in February. We have Nixon to blame for that one. Arrooooggggh! http://www.snopes.com/holidays/presidents/presidentsday.asp

	May Day, also known as International Workers Day, is celebrated in 80 countries worldwide as their version of US Labor Day. May Day is not celebrated in the US, as it is officially known as Law Day

	I'm surprised at the relatively low percentage of New Year's Day; it seems one of those easy questions that get over 99%, but it's only around 92%. For each calendar, New Year's Day falls always on a fixed date by definition: Tishri 1st for the Jews, Muharram 1st for the Muslims, etc. (Of course those dates vary in the Gregorian calendar). I suppose the 8% that didn't get New Year's Day thought that the question referred to the day of the week (which of course is different in each year). Ditto for the 7% that didn't pick Christmas.

	egernunge:	Nov 22nd, 2012 at 17:38 GMT		3 points
	@dancastro: I think it may be because those people clicked on some wrong answers and ran out of right ones before they made it to New Year's Day and Christmas.

	Arrrgh! I continue in me valiant effort to get ye International Talk Like a Pirate Day recognized as a scurvy national holiday. I be needin' a life, I be...

	What's a May Day?

	dancastro:	Nov 22nd, 2012 at 22:50 GMT		13 points
	@relihjm: it depends. If you are on the ground, May Day is the first day of May (most countries celebrate Labor Day on this date). If you are in an airplane and hear "Mayday!", that means a little more serious thing.

	@kpol: the link you provided refutes what you said as a myth. There was never a federal holiday called Lincoln's birthday. Not sure why the usually pedantic Sporcle community got so angry at my correction.

	Such a pity we don't celebrate Flag Day in Ireland.......not!

	I'm pretty sure Columbus Day is consistent. Meh. We don't get it off from school, so... :P

	I feel so dumb--I originally thought that this quiz was about two holidays that share a date. So I spent the first few minutes trying to figure out what other holiday falls on December 25th.
