Can you at least list the dates? I can't imagine anyone outside the US is going to know when any of those are, apart from Christmas and Independence Day.
For reference...
Easter - varies, usually in early to mid April.
Independence Day - July 4th
Christmas Day - December 25th
Labor Day - varies, always in first week of September
Memorial Day - end of May
Thanksgiving - Last Thursday in November
President's Day - Third week of February
Rank the following holidays from warmest to coldest (on average) for your locale. The current ranking reflects the Los Angeles Area:
Labor Day
Independence Day
Memorial Day
Thanksgiving (tie)
Easter (tie)
President's Day
Christmas / New Years
Our coastal areas can easily have a warmer Christmas and New Years than Memorial Day. Winter heat waves can push 90 F while the spring or early summer marine layer can keep things in the 60s all day at the coast if it fails to burn off. So those are just the averages but our day-to-day weather varies more than our "seasonal" weather. In continental or even most subtropical climates, you pretty much know any given summer day will be warmer than any given winter day.

True, at this rate, Memorial Day will be about the same temperature as back around President's Day with the winter heat wave and the relatively cold spring we've been having this year.
