In Australia most historically “Christian” holidays are for the majority of people just time off to spend with family.

How or why they started or what the religious think of them now is irrelevant.

The traditional Christian holidays are largely former Roman holidays, so they're mostly just good times to have parties.

Rename lupercalia to Valentine's Day, Saturnalia to Christmas, etc. To make Christianity a seamless switch for the Roman populace
