its a Japanese based game, made by Japanese....... why would they put in American holidays -.-

Because if they're going to target the US Market, they want to cater to their holidays to make them feel more involved as it's probably the biggest country based market (rather than continent based market such as Europe) in the world. Also as it's been popular in the US (just look at how many were in the alpha and applied for the beta) it makes sense to target them as another market as the US, UK and other EU Countries will probably make half of their profit from the game, if not more.

The key to that is if a holiday can get you off work, drunk or both then its pretty much celebrated world-wide. lol

^ Sorry. Had to say that. I always wanted to give the exact same response to a very similar question made in the movie "Die Hard".
