Holidays contains over 100 legal, historical, cultural, and religious holidays. Holidays is a Now Up-to-Date 2.0 (NUD) Calendar Template export. Holidays can be imported to your NUD calendar or simply printed as a text file to be used as a reference for another calendar program. Holidays is perfect for anyone interested in history, culture, family, and fun.
WHY HOLIDAYS?
Holidays far exceeds the number and accuracy of the holidays in the Sample Calendar included in NUD 2.0. A holiday is often the last remnant of an historical or cultural event. A holiday is also often a day to simply remember to have fun. I have spent my hours compiling these holidays to keep alive history, culture, and fun. The accuracy of the days is based upon "A Dictionary of Days," by Leslie Dunkling, published in 1988.
NOW UP-TO-DATE NOTES
Unfortunately, NUD does not keep the repeats for exported or copied events. Additionally, NUD does not yet offer certain types of repeats. For these reasons, the repeats for the holidays have been included in their Event Info windows. To keep these holidays, you will need to specify the repeats.
THE FUTURE
For the future, I plan to add the background information on each particular holiday to the Event Info window (see Groundhog Day for an example of what's to come).
CONTRIBUTING HOLIDAYS
