This is a thread to place what significance a certain holiday goes for changelings. More or less, this is a thread to pool in ideas for a seasonal campaign. Here are a couple of mine:

Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead): While it is certainly true that ghosts seem to be stronger during this day, to the Lost of Mexico and mexican communities worldwide, this is an important day for them, too.

In this day, most would think that the Autum court would be strong. They are wrong, fear has no sway over this day, for this is a day of joy; it's the one day that the souls of those that passed on get to reunite with the loved ones still alive, and it is a day to remember joys that will never come again. This is disaparate party in which Spring and Winter go side by side.
Spring courtiers (especially those of a culinary sort) hurry up and create dishes of unparalled taste, all the better to lure the hungry ghosts so they partake in the feast. Many decorate lavish altars and place their offerings to the loved ones, or sell flowers to the people that visit the graveyards.

Winter, while more subtle and solemn, is no less present. Many take the unsung work to clean the stones and graves in graveyards. Others, chaneling the sadness, give sad and sober speeches and thoughts on the deseased, or simply offer a shoulder on which lonely people can cry on.

Additionaly, many Lost make altars and ofrendas, not for the ghosts of the dead, but for those hapless kidnapped humans that are still in Arcadia, hoping the smell of the food, the drink, and the vibrant colors can guide them back to this world.

Carnival: While many countries have a version of this easter festivity, it is the Rio Carnival that attracts thousands, maybe even more.

In a great wave of emotion, the Rio Carnival is receded by the four seasonal courts, and it shows: The Joy of Celebration, the Tenacious competition between samba schools, the Fear of violence that might struck in the lonely streets, and the sorrow of the Loss, each court in Rio has its own samba school, and they try to decorate it as much as possible with the mood of the court, but not enough as to attract too much attention.
