Foreign Holidays Accidentally entered

How do I get rid of the holidays I accidentally imported without
deleteing each one individually? I tried that and did a year's worth,
but they're still on for the next year.

Here's what I would do:

create a new calendar view (File>New>Custom View, check "Calendar events" as
item type), then specify "Category is Holiday" as a criterion. Switch to the
calendar component of Entourage and select your new custom view from the
list on the left-hand side. You will now see a list containing all the
calendar items meeting your criteria, and you can batch-select these entries
to delete them (if they are all next to each other, click on the first item,
then hold down Shift and click on the last item; if there are calendar
events which you'd like to keep in between these other items, hold down the
Cmd/Apple key to make a non-continguous selection).

Do an 'advanced find' (Cmd-Opt-F) for calendar events and set the selection
criteria to 'category is' and then select the relevant holiday category from
the drop down list (each countries holidays are imported with a unique
holiday category).

Click in the list of found events, hit cmd-A to select all, and delete, all
in one go.

Barry,
Thanks for the advice. I had already deleted the Religous Holiday's
from my Categories List, so couldn't select it to delete it, but your
advice gave me the thought of just finding each one I did not want
separately and deleting them and that worked great. Thanks!
