Sure, it exists in everyplace I've ever been (not so many, but
enough to realize that such things are not just in the U.S. and
Japan). 

For whatever reason, my family never went anyplace on those kinds of
holiday. Instead, we stayed home and had a picnic outside, played
games and so on. So maybe I'm just carrying on a "family tradition" :-)
