Why have we turned our backs on what God wants us to experience in His word (His holidays) ? Why should we replace those holy days (holidays) and follow along with man made holidays and celebrations instigated by Catholicism?
The adversary goes on the defence when his subtlety is even slightly revealed. He thought he had it when Christ Jesus was killed. He sure tried when he tempted Jesus 3 years prior to Calvary. He lost because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It's just a matter of time my freinds.

The "mockery" doesn't bother me, but it is heart breaking.

who is the we here?
are you speaking of yourself?
you cannot place yourself in some omnipotent place as is God
you cannot do what you are doing
if you want to talk about your personal convictions, then go ahead
but do not judge the hearts of others that you do not know and cannot possibly discern
that, is the abode of God and His Spirit
further and I do know the wiles of the devil, assuming those who do not agree with you are ignorant, is also not your place as you do not know people here that well
well, again, that is not anything for you to know with the conviction you would seem to want to display as your sincereity
I do not question that you are sincere, but I sincerely say that you are incorrect in your conclusions and are basing them on disappointment at the reception of your op

"This is why God has given them up to the vileness of their hearts’ lusts, to the shameful misuse of each other’s bodies. They have exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, by worshipping and serving created things, rather than the Creator — praised be he for ever. Amen." (Romans 1:24-25)
Well, at least you are sincere rather than poke fun at things (like others in this thread) that we all should take seriously. I commend you for that.

What would be a practical spiritual alternative to using these names for the days of the week?
answer to all the above...
"But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate."(Revelation 2:14)
Christendom does this today, and don't even know it for the most part.
Biblical days are numbered by God. Never did he name them in respect to Greek and Roman mythology and idol worship.
What are the names of these biblical days numbered by God? Seriously, I don't believe that the names of the days of the week are ever going to be changed. Almost everything in the world is probably pagan in nature but we are still living in the world doing the best that we can.
A less evil alternative would be a Hershey bar, no almonds. I'm trending towards Snickers myself.
When are the pagan lectures going to start about pumpkins and Christmas trees? LOL
Probably in a month there will be a thread about the Great Pumpkin. Only artificial Christmas trees are pagan in origin. Real ones are OK as long as there is an angel at the top.

Don't buy Nike, Saturn's, don't shop on Amazon. Don't clean with Ajax. Don't shave with a Venus razor.
The list keeps going

We have no choice but to adhere to the Gregorian calendar. I'm not criticizing people for observing a pope's calendar that was a revision of Julius Caesar. This calendar will be in existence till Christ comes back and begins to rule with an iron rod. But it is important to know how Satan changed the original times and seasons of God. Fact is, because of this and many other things adopted from pagan practices by the church is why we are to the point that any Biblical feast that God ordained in the Bible is looked upon with disdain. Should we not understand what we are actually doing, how we've been duped, and how our Master is heart broken because of our unknowing rejection? Who's winning the spiritual war in this day and age. We see "lawlessness" all around us, and we sit back like we have our ticket to heaven punched while being totally apathetic.
"And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." (Daniel 7:25)
What is God feeling in His heart? Is He sad, or happy when He looks down at us?
