What are the Quakers holidays?
With their testimony to equality, in principle, many Quakers believe all people and days are equal and therefore no person or day more 'holy' than any other. So Quakers do not formerly collectively mark any particular day, but most observe the common traditions of Christmas and other public holidays of the countries where they live.

Did the Quakers celebrate holidays?
Historically, members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) did not celebrate any holidays. This is often seen as part of the testimony of simplicity. In addition to avoiding holidays, it is a Quaker tradition to refer to days by their number rather than their name (for example, instead of Sunday it's First Day, Monday is Second Day, etc.). While this practice is still upheld in many Meetinghouses, in day-to-day life the vast majority of Quakers now use the common names for days. While there are still no Quaker holidays, some Quakers who were raised in other religious traditions still celebrate the holidays of their youth, albeit in a secular form. While Christmas has no religious significance to the majority of Quakers, a good number of Quakers celebrate Christmas because of its cultural significance. There is debate in many Quaker communities about what level of participation in holiday traditions is appropriate for Friends.
