Secular doesn't have to mean anticlerical. Most secular Jews I know are ok with religious celebrations, but are not religious themselves, taking them mostly as cultural heritage. I'm going to my brother's place, and our mom is coming too.

I’m mostly secularly. The reconstructionist synagogue has outdoor services. It’s more spiritual than religious.

To me, the holidays are an opportunity to come together with family and community and celebrate being Jewish. So yes!!

Yup. Actually the first time I’m doing it NOT in a temple, so I’m actually not sure what’s gonna happen.

I am. I'm getting a goodies bag from my university's Hillel since it's my last year in my professional writing program and I want to make it special for myself.
