    • And if you're Canadian, it's 5 out of 6!
    (within an almost 2 month period)

    They require January 6 (Epiphany) instead of August 15 (The Assumption).

    Talk about bunched-up!  Maybe that's where the expression "Happy holidays" came from?

    • Is that so? But I read somewhere else that Happy Holidays were given by the Masons so as to avoid the greeting Merry Christmas...
