Yes, we Europeans have started to realise it's better to form the basis of our spiritual lives on things that actually exist. Only a few places like Japan are clearly ahead of us in this, so I suppose we have something to be proud about.
The myth about Muslims taking over is something made up by American neo-cons desperately trying to spin the greatest intellectual shift of our age into something negative. I can assure you the day it happens is the same day Spanish is made the official language of the United States. =P
Sorry for going off-topic like that.
I don't believe you can make a similar list for Europe because around here every country has slightly different holidays. For instance you have one Independence Day for all your 300 million people, but here every single country has their own Independence/National/Whatever Day, as well as a crapload of other regional things. Christmas is an insane shopping spree everywhere, and all the traditional Christian holidays are roughly the same, but that's about it. Notably I can't think of a single country with an equivalent to your Thanksgiving, since none us want to remember the native peoples we drove of when we settled our lands hundreds/thousands of years ago. =P
