The random holidays not showing...

...up in the calendar after they have happened. I thought the random game generated holidays were supposed to stay after they had generated and come again next time around on the exact day they were the year before? Because I have at least 2 seasons over and all I see in the past seasons (that will come up next) are the official holidays like Harvest day and Love day and the holidays that I myself have created...does that mean that the game generated holidays are true random and don't show up again at the same date?
How is it at your end? Am I bugged? Because I have been delaying putting in my own holidays so the ones the game generates wont be destroyed accidentally by me placing my own.

Are the holidays you mean are the Lottery, Talk like a pirate day, Season Premiere, etc? If that is what you mean then they don't show up in the calendar after they are done. It is by design as there are number of days of cool down of when this holidays will happen. For example, Lottery might happen fall in your first full season cycle, but by the time you reach the second calendar year, it might appear in Winter.

So, the little generated holidays will spawn regardless of where I put my own created ones? I won't be destroying their spot in the calendar?
As far as your own holidays interfering with them, only insofar as your own holidays will prevent the special ones from showing up on those specific days. I don't now about the day of week options for most of the default random days, but I do know that the lottery will only show up on a Wednesday, so if you want to make sure the lottery CAN happen when it's off of cooldown, do not have a lot of your own holidays set for Wednesdays.
Your best bet, is to make all of the holidays that you have set up that you can see on the calendar be on different week days. So have only 1 or 2 on a Sunday, 1 or 2 on a Monday, etc. That way there are options for all of the various weekdays available throughout the calendar for the special ones.
