Those powers are reserved to Westminster. The UK Parliament, in its omnipotence, created the Scottish Parliament in 1998 and delegated to it lawmaking powers, with the exception of some matters of national importance which are listed in Schedule 5. Have a look at this link.
Essentially, devolution is the mirror image of federalism.
Essentially, devolution is the mirror image of federalism.
The main (and significant) difference is orientation, which government institution has reserved powers (thus, by default, all powers not explicitly granted the other.)
I suppose there is small chance the SNP feels any gratitude to Labour for passing the Scotland Act.

Nothing, they are federal holidays still because of strong unions, not religion

Again, some people manifestly care; just not enough to relinquish a paid holiday.

Replacing it with another, secular, holiday seems the responsible thing to do.

If people did not care, disestablishmentarianism (and its antithesis) would not exist.

Thanksgiving was a purely federal institution. FDR dictated the date it's celebrated

That distinction would be an almost wholly Roman Catholic (or possibly Greek Orthodox) one.

It's funny how you use "federal" to mean "mandated by national government".
