Aren't you in the now? It's supposed to be "Winter Holidays" or "That politically correct time of the year again days"

Political correctness hasn't reached those levels in Belgium.
Thanks for the quick reply BTW.

In the US, Labor day is in September.
May 1 is May Day.

Actually, the calender is mainly aimed at Chinese and Japanese clients of the (small) company where I work. It shows when we are closed so no need for other nations' holidays.
Thanks anyway.

11 NOVEMBER: ARMISTICE
In Canada, we call it Rememberance Day (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXptc4EG4J8).
It's weird in the UK; there's Remembrance Sunday, on the Sunday closest to 11/11, and Remembrance Day itself. But Armistice Day is fine.
