Pre-War Haze

Pre-War haze is a term used by corporations to describe the degradation of historical knowledge from before the uranium wars.

Abraham Washington, a self-described preservationist who is wrong about literally everything he says about American history.
The Noverian, they seemed to believe that the average wastelander would understand that the United States was the former government, that life was significantly better when the United States was around, and that people should readily accept their leadership as the legitimate American government. Some people (such as Nathan) actually bought their propaganda, so they likely weren't too far-off with the first two assumptions.
As far as holidays go, there's a Christian church, Although it is no longer devoted to christianity and Christmas (and Easter) are still celebrated by Arkians, Albeit entirely due to them being profitable for corporations. At the very least, they know that the decorations are decorations and when to put them up.
The best comparison I can think of is that the average wastelander likely knows as much about the Pre-War Earth as the average person today knows about the Roman Empire. They're aware that it existed and that it no longer exists, though they probably can't tell you much about it beyond broad strokes.
If you asked a random wastelander about the Earth, for example, they'd probably know the name, but they wouldn't be able to tell you who founded it, how long it existed, what important events occurred in history, and so on.
All that being said, it's important to remember that the average wastelander is anybody from an illiterate brahmin rancher to somebody who's read enough medical textbooks to be trusted as the local surgeon. You could probably a way better overview of American history from a ranger, for example, than somebody who never left the farm they were born on.
