More than “lots” more. There are more “occasions” than there are people. And you MUST realize this without my telling you. So why do you bother with such a question? I swear Flo, I try to ignore your questions, but am admittedly intrigued with what rattles around in your head. Are you isolated somewhere?

One per month.

You meant to ask what are the different occasions that people celebrate, not how many.

Going on holiday.

Funeral.

Marriage.

Halloween and other religious festivals.

Cat died and I didn’t want to waste it.

Anniversary of NAFTA.

Salutatorian celebrations: nice one Michelle et al.

Saturday night and I just got paid.

Feast of the consumption.

New job.

Enemy just passed.

Won lotto.

e before Pi day.

@kritiper more than that if you have cousins aunts uncles grandparents friends, close coworkers close boss, workplace Christmas party, on and on it goes.
@Pinguidchance I meant how many, but not necessarily an exact figure. But what are is fine too.
I wouldn’t put ’‘funeral’‘since we don’t celebrate someone’s death.
