Here it's Guy Fawkes day, when Protestants tit for tat terrorism with Catholics for blowing up British parliament. I don't know why we still celebrate in in NZ. Fireworks are banned in Australia except for the one day on New Years where they let them off by the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

I looked up Guy Fawkes Day, wasn't aware of it. Fireworks should be banned in India as well, but I guess it's hard considering the religious significance it carries for the majority of the population.

Did you ever celebrate Holi?
I heard thats where everyone throws paint powder all over each other. Not sure if its religious or if it's just a fun day. In Spain they throw tomatoes at each other.

I don't celebrate Holi. I don't know if the La Tomatina festival of Spian has any pagan association, but Holi has Hindu religious significance.
 
Spain is mostly Catholic or Islamic. Everyone else would just be heathens.
I think pagan is more what Druids believe, or people who are into wizards and witches. Or maybe it was the Romans/Greeks belief in various gods and goddesses.

Christmas is pretty much celebrated by everyone, for the presents, especially for children. The belief in Santa Claus is very strong amongst children around the time leading up to Christmas.
