Two Things.  The major religious holidays are more than an excuse to party,
not that there is anything wrong with that.  Second, there is plenty wrong
with the 7 principles of communism.  Its the principles that always lead to
rotten implementation.  The principles of communism can only work in a
non-corrupt and non-liberty threatening way when you are talking about a
society of say a small group of villagers on an Island where they are
forced to work together for the common good because that's the only way to
stay alive.  As soon as personal interest and common interest no longer
coincide, the communism's principles will either be abandoned by the
individuals or communism's principles will enslave the individuals and
deprive them of substantial liberty.

So yes there is PLENTY wrong with communism's principles.
