@HaLeivi:

That’s always intrigued me as well; I’ve been told that the answer is simply ?? ???? – once there are two days for some Yomim Tovim, we do it for all of them (except Yom Kippur).

@Stuck:

Because in Eretz Yisroel they never had to keep two days (because they knew, through a system of fire signals, which day was the correct one for Yom Tov). The exception was Rosh Hashana, and even in Eretz Yisrael Rosh Hashana is two days.
