    I am listening to the older episodes and wanted to share my favorite real-world holiday. In Russia, there is a professional holiday called the day of power engineer. It falls on 22 December, because on this day in 1920 a plan for electrification of the country was approved. As most of my family worked in that industry, it was a big thing, although virtually no one outside the industry knows of it. What I find most symbolic, is that it falls on the darkest day of the year, and is about light, progress, and comfort achieved through hard work.
