I've not tagged any of my holidays and days of observance.

The #+CATEGORY issue will arise in other regards as well. It was a

general category property mechanism was included. I don't recall if
"#+CATEGORY" has been deprecated, but I've treated it as such and been
much happier than when I was struggling with it.
