Leap day/international holiday, undated

I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of developers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

The international fixed calendar is basically what's described here. But it adds one day to bring it to 365, that day is called year day, and its an extra day, not a day of the week just a bonus day. Leap years get a second extra day 6 months later.

You know what... The more I hear about this calendar the more I like it.

A celebration day that doesn't count... That's neat.

A day where you dont work, everything is closed, and you recover from the new years hangover.
