#8

Seasonally-determined year:

-starts at first planting or at the time of the first animal births; before that, the celebration-preparation

-the planting season

-the tending season

-the first harvest and preservations

-the second harvest in early fall

-the third harvest of the animals, and the preservation of meat

-the resting season, starting with the honoring of ancestors and ending with the longest night

And then, cultural holidays:

-the naming of te babies, for babies over a year old

-womanhood and manhood for teenaged children (they choose which they feel like and do that, and there's in-between shades, too--a place in the society for all genders)

-founding day

-important memorial and celebrations days based on the community history

-eldering day for people who passed beyond childbearing and daily work age during the past year

-celebrations for returning community members who went out for work or school or were shunned

-births and deaths and marriages and divorces

-celebrations for community-important events like new businesses launching or closing, school classes starting or ending, new buildings going up or new tools being made or bought, etc

Basically, a framework of seasonal actions and lots of community celebrations in between, to have something to look forward to and to break the monotony of work.
