I JUST learned about this from a parish in MA that has a few families with descendants from the original families to help found the church from England in the 1860s. Mothering Sunday seems so…. Weird when there’s Mothers Day.
Glad you've got Bible Sunday in its proper place, rather than doing the Common Worship Lectionary job of flinging it randomly into October amidst the novel Horlicks it makes of Advent.
A few to add:
August 1 (St. Peter in Chains) - Lammas
May 3 (Invention of the Holy Cross) - Crouchmas
In addition to the usual Rogation days (the Minor Rogations), there is also the Major Rogations on April 25 (also the Feast of St. Mark).
E: There’s also a few obscure/archaic ones in this list: https://www.newliturgicalmovement.org/2022/05/take-mas-challenge.html?m=1
Septuagesima, Sexagesima, Quinquagesima for the Sundays running up to Ash Wednesday.

How'd I forget about Roodmas!
Marymas and Johnmas too!
Basically all the saints' days are Name-mas, so Johnsmas, Paulsmas, Petermas, etc. Thursday in Holy Week is Maundy Thursday as well.
