Eh, I think you just think of holidays differently than I do. I'm not celebrating a holiday because I believe in what it represents or anything like that, I'm celebrating because celebrations are fun and I like days off. So saying a holiday is based in X or Y just misses the point - I don't care if there's booze and…

Well, it is TLDR, so IDR all of it, but… You may be right about the climate stuff, but the Roman's didn't really create vast stores of knowledge or philosophy (seriously, name a Roman philosopher who wrote more than one book).
