Holi

It appears Apple's response to the outcry at the removal of religious holidays (which only represented Christian events) from the calendar a week ago, was to put holidays for all major religions on the calendar. Subscribe to a calendar that only has what you want.

How to add calendar events to your Calendar application for OS X/Mac OS and iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-12741

The article is just an outline on how to do this. It was written a week ago so it targeted the opposite issue - how to add the religious holidays. I am sure with a bit of searching you can find a plain vanilla US holiday calendar somewhere and use the methods outlined to use it instead..

I have a US holiday on my calendar on Mar 2 "Holi" which is a hindu holiday, not a US holiday. Why is this on the Apple subscribed standard US holiday.

The only thing that Easter seems to have over Holi is chocolate.

But Hindu holidays all involve sweets of some sort. They are all joyous holidays.

It does look like fun.
