节日

读到一个观点，“节日”应当是那些对你个人有重要意义的时间节点，而不是日历表上需要庆祝的节日。

Your year really begins when you move to a new home, start school, quit a job, have a big breakup, have a baby, quit a bad habit, start a new project, or whatever else. Those are the real memorable turning points — where one day is very different than the day before. Those are the meaningful markers of time. That’s your “new year”.

— Derek Sivers. Time is personal. Your year changes when your life changes

我赞同，不过日历表上的节日也有它的作用。给人们一个庆祝的借口，尤其是 给那些你很思念却无法经常见面的人一个联系的借口。

而当这些重要的人就在你的身边时，那对具体的人来说重要的“节日”当然应该大过日历上的节日。
