So is it like Easter, not the same day every year?

no, MLK's birthday celebration does not fall on his actual birthday, but the appropriate following monday, which is how my birthday often coincides with the holiday.

But holidays are borrowed and stolen for whatever reason. Christianity [might have] borrowed solstice, and consumerism borrowed Christmas.
Who cares when? Celebrations evolve, but it's not like Pagans can't celebrate solstice because it's been overrun, or Chrisitans are no longer able to celebrate Jesus' birth because it's been corrupted. We are capable of celebrating whatever the fuck we want, when we want. At the same time.
