A Note on Christmas 2010
Please note that there are two (2) days holiday for Christmas Day 2010
and New Year's Day 2011 respectively. This phenomenon occurs
approximately every 7 years when both Christmas Day and New Year's Day
fall on a Saturday. This is because the U.S. observes the respective
public holiday on the preceding Friday, whereas the United Kingdom
always observes the day on the following Monday. This situation most
recently occurred over the 2004/2005 period.
