I went with my actual first thought.
It was Thanksgiving, and Halloween was the next observance to pop into my head. Had I been going for obscure, I’d have said Maundy Thursday.
I went for
Kenm Day.
Mark me the second to come up with
Hanukkah
Well, you didn’t ask for the first name that came to mind, so I discarded my first two (Thanksgiving and New Year’s) figuring these were almost surely your first two guesses (who’s reading whose mind, here). The next one that came to mind was Boxing Day. Not fair because it’s not a US holiday? Okay then, President’s Day and that was my guess.
I got ANZAC Day… which is weird because I’m American.
Ha, ha, ha. An obscure throwaway joke on Frasier is supposed to be enough for me to know about it. I can check Wikipedia, too. Even in countries where the holiday is common, there doesn’t seem to be much of a celebration anymore–it’s just a day to think about the weather.
I’m so sure that’s going to be popular in the U.S., less than a couple weeks after something as big as the Fourth of July. I definitely should have seen a celebration somewhere before.
Y’all just thought of an obscure holiday to try and outwit the test. Heck, you even admit the saint is obscure. Why would he be if his holiday wasn’t?
“I don’t know about something, so no-one else does either” is not a convincing argument.
Well, there’s also St Crispin’s Day - I have no idea who St Crispin is but the big speech in Henry V goes on about his day.
I said, “New Years,” because I thought it was a holiday that starts with the letter “N”.
In my mind Henry always says St. Swithun’s day even though I know it’s St. Crispin’s. That speech is the only bit of Shakespeare longer than a sentence that I really like.
