I have an opposite story. One of my kids went to a school that had a large and diverse immigrant population. There were something like 40 different languages spoken by the various families. The trouble was, every week somebody had a holiday from their home country that they wanted to share and celebrate. Students were constantly bringing in sweet treats and gifts and other things for their classmates. It became a huge distraction for everyone, and the school actually had to ask parents to stop celebrating so many holidays.
That sounds sweet the kids were that open to the existence of so many holidays. In all the places I've been, even the smallest calendar addition would be overwhelming to everyone.
