Okay, cool:

Of the countries with the highest number of holidays, the list dominated by ones which have a weekend that is only one day long. On the other side of the coin, all five countries with the fewest holidays are all former Communist states, or part of the former Soviet Union.

...

The country with the longest gap between two regularly scheduled holidays in Bosnia, where residents sometimes have to go 731 days without a holiday. Next come Taiwan (353 days), followed by the Netherlands and Switzerland (333 days) and Qatar (286 days). Of course, these gaps may not occur every year if they are associated with a special alignment of fixed date holidays and weekends

...

At the other end of the spectrum, some Canadians never have to go more than 60 days between holidays, Marshal Islanders 67 days, Thais 74 days, Tajiks 76 days and Colombians and Jamaicans 77 days.

Oh, and for stat geeks.

and then one day I can use on my birthday or adjacent to a paid set day. Which means my only options are next to New Year's, or next to Christmas, since I rarely take blocks off around the others, and wouldn't need my b-day off

Oh, huh. No, that is different (from our personal days). And, yeah, weird.

But really, isn't every day in Bosnia a holiday?

I wonder what holdiay is ever 2 years a day? Or maybe what calendar they are using.

Okay, there are no National Holidays between New Year's and Easter, so this is not me. I bet it's Quebec or Newfoundland.

In Quebec, they get New Year's Day and January 2nd off. I guess they figure the hangover will be very bad.

5 million topics later: the thing I liked about the evite quote was that little smile he made afterwards.

I do get MLK day off --- thank goodness. My office is a shambles. And I'm too tired to do anything about it.

They're not counting holidays that fall on weekends, which is why their language is a bit handwavey. I'd love to see the algorithms they ran to get those answers. And meet the geeks who thought it would be worth doing.

731 days between holidays?

6 day weeks?

Madness.

According to these lists of national and provincial that's not true. The shortest winter gap is between Jan. 1 and March 17th in Newfoundland.

ETA: Whoops! It's in Alberta. Damn Albertans!

Maybe there is a secret Canadian holliday.

Okay, Newfies never work, do they? But Albertans have a February holiday -- they're just shafted for the rest of the year.
