I, just once, would like some holiday that doesn't pamper to the soft and sweet (aw, isn't it cute?) side of life.
Why can't there be a holiday that symbolizes a goddess of war; where if you do the quest (that isn't 50 levels below yours and doesn't pop up every flipping time you zone) you get some super stat food, or something else useful? (17,459 plushies later....)
Holloween? Haven't seen it here yet but its pretty neat in EQ1 =P Expecailly when you have to go trick-or-treating in game and can only "Trick or Treat" a NPC once per 30 mins and instead of him giving your treat to fill your trick-or-treat bag (for the reward) he gives you something like "Pocket Lent". Also pretty cool too when you fill up your bag and then run to the NPC to turn-in and found out all the candy you got was consumeable so you have to do the thing all over gain... GOOD TIMES!
To answer your question, most conflicts in humanity have been bloody. The monuments and momentos we construct to remember them by are not there to remember the war itself, but the people whom gave their lives for that cause. It is disrespectful to celebrate loss of life.
