I live in a very multicultural town so there seems to always be some festival or other going on. When we first moved here from a very 'English' market town I couldn't believe how often there were firework displays going on. Consequently I think some of our festivals and traditions disappear in the confusion of all the other celebrations. As for only eating certain foods at the 'correct' time of year, if we did that we'd never get mince pies on Christmas day as it is illegal to eat them that day due to an ancient law from Oliver Cromwell's time which has never been repealed - although some people dispute this! Personally I love mince pies and often eat them at the wrong time if they are available, as I do to a lesser extent with hot x buns. My ex H loved Christmas pudding so much that I always filled the larder with them whenever they were available, especially if reduced after the festivities, so we could have Christmas pudding for Sunday lunch for most of the year! Nowadays I only eat it on Christmas day and maybe boxing day if there are leftovers.
