I searched on "holiday" and didn't see anything more recent. But not everyone uses descriptive titles, so I may have just missed it.

I don't want to use a table because it would be a pain to include with the class. Besides, I'd rather have a program do it than have to fill in a table with the next and previous n years of holidays. Who knows what year someone is going to set the calendar to? I want to make sure it will work for any year, past or present, otherwise I might-as-well just not do it at all.

Thanks,

Michelle
