So when I was at school I heard that Independence from the British is the most common holiday around the world, is that so?

What is the most common holiday around the world? Is the independence from the british or other?

Can we get some clarification on what you mean by most common? Do you mean the same holiday celebrated by the greatest number of people, the greatest number of countries, or something different?

Or do you mean a holiday that is slightly different for each country/people but celebrating something- e.g. say 54 countries celebrate their own independence from the British?

Also given the 20 year rule, I don’t think we’re allowed to answer about currently celebrated items, it might need to be something like what was the most commonly celebrated holiday in 2000?
