Ah, I thought this was including public holidays.
February 29th may be a working day. December 25th is usually free in Christian countries.
Sure, weekends and holidays will do.
Humble guess, some people don't work during holidays
Thanks, was thinking there might be some vacation, days they don't work.
public holidays are not included iirc
Too bad this was posted on a US holiday weekend. :(
Not really a counterexample, that's a holiday, not a regular date.
Why that particular day ? Maybe just because June didn't have any holidays yet ?
They may want to take the occasional holiday...
