is there any books that have all holidays?

I read your question several days ago and had remembered reading about it on the web. But I only now found it:

Since 1957, Chase's Calendar of Events has been the ultimate reference calendar: the standard day-by-day directory to special days, weeks and months as well as holidays, historical anniversaries and fairs and festivals. Each edition of Chase's Calendar of Events has more than 12,000 listings. It's a "must have" for broadcasters, journalists, advertising and PR agencies, event planners, activity directors, speakers, librarians or anyone looking for something to celebrate each and every day! The book is revised annually and the new edition always publishes in the fall for the following year.

For an example of "special" months listed in 2006:

What type of desserts did people eat during the 1690’s?

What type of desserts did people eat during the 1690's?

In those days it was most likely Olde English but their would have be new immigrants from other countries they called home.

Check that area for what their heritage would have been and then see what they would have brought from the old country.

To many of these people they were in a different land with lots of new foods to try, because they may not have been able to get the same foods from home and would adapt their recipes to suit with what hey had close at hand.

That is why the US foods varied as all these new peoples tried to make the foods from home, and also from the new cultures where cultures from one country would meet them from another that may have been thousand of miles apart over there, but were now neighbours.

Salem, 1690

The recipes used by cooks in Salem, MA in the 1690s were based primarily on popular English cookbooks of the day: Robert May's [1685] and Gervase Markham's English Huswife [1615]. Soups, stews, fresh roasts, preserved meats (bacon, ham, salt pork) salads, breads/biscuits, puddings/pies (sweet and savory), cakes/cookies were all common items. Fruits and vegetables were served fresh or preserved (dried, pickled).

The ingredients used by Salem cooks in the 1690s would have been a combination of "new world" foods (corn, clams, squash, beans, cranberries, potatoes), local fare (mollusks, fish, wild game, fowl/birds, domesticated hogs, apples, nuts, berries, onions, cheese, eggs) and imported goods (tea, coffee, sugar, rum, citrus fruits, spices & flavorings etc.)
