I always observe the 'quarter days' which correspond to the pagan holidays but they don't land on the same days.
The way I was taught is that we use the wheel of the year which employs astrological principals. The quarter day is half-way between the solstices and the equinoxes. That places the sun at 15 degrees of a sign. That is a few days later then the 1st of the month which are the traditional holidays.
I don't call them anything special but I consider them to the the 'special' days and I observe them in my way. They do correspond to the pagan holidays..My Lamas would be in a couple of days. I will probably do something informal. I acknowledge it. To me, these days mark the beginning of the new season and they are more important to me then the solstices and the equinoxes. I don't know why but that is how it is.

I've always understood the solstices and equinoxes to be the quarter days;the midpoints are the cross-quarters. And we pagans use the Wheel of the Year, as well
@FrednotBob......You are right. I don't use the common terminology for myself. I was taught from within and I can only observe the similarities and differences...This is a similarity but you would think I would get the terminology right.
My mistake. Thanks for correcting me.
