Should we have a secular rational division of holidays and divide the circle of the year into 4 exact quarters?

The year has 12 months, easily split into four equal quarters [segments of 3 months]:my simple question is....

• would you like to see holidays instituted around the: 31st december/1st of january... 31st march/1st of april... 30th june/1st of july... 30th september/1st of october to my mind, it would be nice to be able to have four exactly equidistant resting points [in the year] to give a logical/secular/rational structure to the experience of the passing of the year,[that incidentally is also synchronised with new year---ie exactly three months after new year we have april 1st holiday----exactly three months after which..we have july 1st holiday----exactly three months after which comes 1st october holiday...then full circle again with jan 1st-three months later. most people like to divide tasks into halves and quarters, and i see no reason why we couldnt divide the year itself by four quarter points- but that also align with new years day. i know the equinoxes and solstices are almost the same thing, but theyt are not aligned to our current ist jan new years day.................

• Answer:

  Sounds like a good idea. They can do away with some of the holidays altogether like Casmir Pulaski day and Martin Luther King day and just make one important people day. So instead of lining up all the quarter of the year holidays with New Years, why not line them up with the solstices. It seems like the timing of the sun has been around longer than NY day. I know, lets just make our own holidays whenever we want, sounds good to me.!!!!
