Skyrim Holidays and Traditions : V

So, i went through the holidays page on the UESP, and i listed down all the ones that i thought were relevant to my character, ones that i thought my character would celebrate, and also ones that i made myself that my character would celebrate.. so here is my list:

New Life Festival: 1st Morning Star

Festival Of Lights: 16th Morning Star

Feast Of The Dead: 13th Sundawn

Pilgrimage Up The 7000 Steps: 24th Last Seed 4E 201

The Banishishing Of The World-Eater: 7:00 pm, 22nd of Frostfall, 4E 201

The Burning Of King Olaf: 1st Suns Dusk, Midnight

Warriors Festival: 20th Suns Dusk

But when it comes to the day, i dont know how i could celebrate in an immersing way? I suppose for the New Life Festival and Lights Festival i would spend it all day at the inn, spend Feast Of The Dead in Jorvasskr. On 24th of last seed i could make another Pilgrimage up the steps making sure i read all tablets on the way. I dont know how i would spend the banishing of Alduin. I would spend the day at the bards college for the burning of King Olaf, and i dont know who i should spend Warriors Festival with.. companions again maybe..

I just think it would be great if people get special dialouge and cities get a little decoration for certain holidays, maybe free ale in the inns, and everyone joins in singing songs instead of everyone acting normal as if it was a normal day.. i suppose it would be a ***** for Bethesda to implement though.. do any of you guys celebrate holidays in Skyrim to add to immersion?

A holiday mod would be pretty cool. It would also be neat if there were race-specific holidays (because it's a holiday in their homeland). Like if on a certain day all the Argonains in Skyrim get together and drink ale and eat sweetrolls to celebrate some Argonian holiday..

I suppose it would be quite overwhelming.. all the different holidays that the game would have to keep up with, the constant chaning in dialouge and decorations around the land on specific in-game days would be quite frustrating to code..

maybe just a select few of the more imporatant and universal holidays?
